1302 Affidavit of Admission

An approved 1302 Affidavit of Admission application is required for residents requesting enrollment of children whose parents or court-appointed guardians do not live in the school district. PA Law (24 PS 13-1302) states “when a resident of any school district keeps in his/her home, such child shall be entitled to all free school privileges afford to resident children of the school district.

Before accepting the child as a student East Pennsboro Area School District requires the Resident to file a sworn affidavit that (1) the person is a resident of the school district; (2) the person is supporting the child gratis; (3) the person is assuming all personal obligations for the child relative to school requirements; and (4) the person intends to keep supporting the child continuously throughout the year, including weekends and summers.

The Resident takes responsibility for the child in education matters and assumes all attendance obligations. This means that the District Resident is responsible for the child’s education including grades, attendance, and behavior. If there are issues involving the school attendance of the child, the District Resident is held responsible. If there is a need to enforce truancy laws, the District Resident will be the person held liable for the child’s attendance. This could include fines set by the district magistrate or judge. Also, if the child fails to properly care for school property and there is a need for money to be paid for repair or replacement, such payment will be the responsibility of the District Resident. Any disciplinary issues and resulting restitution will also be the District Resident’s responsibility

The approved District Resident must submit a new sworn statement and a current copy of the required additional documentation must be submitted each school year; otherwise, the child may be dropped from enrollment as an active student.
