Why Choose Us for Your Residency Verification Needs?
It is the responsibility of schools to provide all students with a
quality education. However, educating students who are not
residents of the district can create undue financial strain. We
provide the essential information your district needs to make
informed residency determinations.
Our team is comprised of experienced former law enforcement and state agency investigators. All investigators are BOCES employees, ensuring reliability and consistency.
At the district’s request, BOCES investigators, guided by NYSED
regulations, research and investigate residency status. This
process assists districts in determining legitimate residence
claims based on evidence provided by our team of experts. This
includes assistance in verifying students under the McKinneyVento Act and support in determining residency for charter schools and other tuition-eligible students.
What to Expect
- Timely and thorough investigative services – We help ensure students in the district are educationally legal residents of the district as required by NYSED law. Close communication between our investigator and the district contact is maintained throughout the investigation with periodic status report updates.
- Verification/determination of students – We will determine students who are covered by the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Improvement Act and residency of Charter School students.
- Final Report – We will create a report that will assist the district in their ability to make a residency determination.
