In order to ensure that Fayette County taxpayer dollars are being used to educate students who reside in the county, the Fayette County Public School System is requiring all students to verify their residency for the coming school year.
Parents must provide a current (dated within 60 days) electric bill with the parent’s name and address, the mailing address must match the service address. Other utility bills such as water, gas, phone, and cable are not accepted.
Parents of all enrolled students have received an email about the residency verification along with instructions on how to satisfy the requirement. This can be done immediately by replying to the email, and including a scanned copy or photograph of the electric bill along with all students’ names and the schools they attend in the body of the email.
Residency documentation can also be mailed or taken to the school of attendance, or to the Enrollment and Records Center located at 205 LaFayette Avenue, Fayetteville, Georgia, 30214. In households where students attend multiple schools, the documentation only has to be sent to one school, but the parent must list all students’ names and their school of attendance with the submission.
Parents are encouraged to send the required documents as soon as possible. The deadline for completing the residency verification is Friday, August 19. It has been eight years since the school system has conducted a system-wide residency check.
