  • Schools may need to report both a home and mailing address on a student if the family prefers to have their mail delivered to a PO Box.

  • Note: The home address may be utilized to determine the student has legal residency within the state of Indiana while a PO Box does not provide this level of information. The state requires a “home” type address in case of audits to determine the student has legal residency within the state of Indiana.

Enter the AddressBeginDate

  • Report the first date of the school calendar, the first date of the student’s enrollment, or the first date of the student providing updated address information.

9. Enter the AddressEndDate

  • Report the last date prior to a student providing updated address information.

  • Schools are not required to provide updated begin/end dates to student address information when making a correction to a current address.

  • Schools are not required to provide end dates on all address records at the end of each reporting school year.

NOTE:

  • Address information is shared with other state agencies for relevant mailings to parents.

  • Address information is utilized in cases of audits to show proof the student resided in Indiana when receiving membership funding.
