  • I certify that my children and I are residents of the city of Berkeley. Depending on the individual student’s circumstances at times it may be necessary to conduct residency verifications to ascertain the student’s domicile. If residency verification efforts determine that we do not reside in Berkeley, I realize that my child may be dropped from enrollment and returned to his/her district of residence within twenty (20) days.

    I understand that I must notify the Admissions Office of any changes in domicile within ten (10) days. If I move within Berkeley, I must also submit the required proofs of Berkeley residency within thirty (30) days to the District’s Admissions Office. If I move out of Berkeley, at that time, I may apply for an interdistrict permit, which, if approved, may allow my child to continue in the Berkeley public schools.

    This declaration is made under the penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California and entered on the date below in Berkeley, Alameda County, California.
