NOLA Public Schools Out-of-Parish Student Guidance

Except at Type 2 Charters, all students of NOLA public schools must be residents of Orleans Parish.

To ensure compliance with this requirement, schools must take the following actions:

• During registration, collect two or more Orleans parish residency documents¹
• On an ongoing basis, monitor new registrations and your rosters for out-of-parish addresses.
• Inform all families who do not establish Orleans Parish residency and not eligible for McKinney-Vento protections that they will be discharged.
• If a family confirms residency in another parish, discharge the student in SchoolForce with the following note:
  • OSE9: Failed to verify residency in Orleans Parish
• If a family continues to come to school, contact NOLA Public Schools for support

¹These documents may be used to prove residency:

• Current Lease/Mortgage Statement
• Electricity/Gas Bill
• Sewerage/Water Bill
• Cable/Internet Bill
• Section 8 or HANO Voucher Statement
• Recent letter from a government agency
