An affidavit of residency may be used if you are an adult who has assumed responsibility for a pupil and provide the pupil with a fixed, night-time abode, for reasons other than access to the education programs of the school district. This should not be used, however, if you are natural or adoptive parents of the pupil, have been granted court-ordered custody or guardianship, or are receiving public aid on behalf of the pupil.  Note: Providing false information on a affidavit of residency is a Class C misdemeanor.
