09 | Legal Settlement | Legal Settlement (IC 20-33-8-17) Schools may reasonably ask for documentation of residence. However, parents may not have that information if they are homeless or living with a relative. Schools must enroll children presented for enrollment and then verify legal settlement by a school official or attendance officer home visit (I.C. 20-33-2-39). If the school determines that the child does not legally reside in the district, the school may hold an expulsion meeting to expel the child due to lack of legal settlement. The school may not expel, exclude, or withdraw the child without affording the child the opportunity to participate in an expulsion meeting (I.C. 20-33-8-19). The State Board of Education has the authority to determine legal settlement appeals (I.C. 20-26-11-15).
