Every family must re-document where they live by July 1, with an outside vendor checking and unverified children sent elsewhere

What happened

A residency verification programme presented on April 28, 2026 requires every enrolled family to provide updated documents confirming residency through the parent portal by July 1, 2026, with an electronic review of records starting May 6 and verification complete by August 1. The district says it will review current registration documents in collaboration with a registration verification partner, which the presentation does not name. Families who cannot be verified are told their child will be eligible to attend school in the district where they live rather than in Livingston. No board resolution authorising the programme or the vendor appears in the minutes for that meeting.

Why it matters to families

This asks every family in the district to prove where they live over the summer, with a child's place at school as the consequence, and it hands their documents to a company the public record does not name. Districts do run residency checks; the missing pieces here are the authorising vote and the vendor's identity.

The evidence

The presentation instructs that 'Families provide requested updated documents to confirm residency within strict boundaries by July 1, 2026 through the Genesis Parent Portal Upload' and that 'The district will carefully review the current registration documents on file in collaboration with a registration verification partner.'
