Arizona Residency Guidelines
9/22/11
INTRODUCTION
Generally, under Arizona law, only Arizona residents are entitled to a free public education. The Arizona
Department of Education (“Department”) is a designated steward of state education tax dollars and is
responsible for providing state aid to school districts and charter schools for students who reside in
Arizona. Pursuant to A.R.S. § 15-823(J), a school district or charter school may not include non-resident
pupils in their student count and may not obtain state aid for those pupils. The residency of a student is
determined by the residency of the parent or guardian with whom the student lives. Accordingly, it is the
responsibility of the school districts and charter schools that receive state aid to ensure that their
student/parent residency information is accurate and verifiable. The Department may audit schools to
ensure that only Arizona resident students are reported for state aid. Any school district or charter school
that cannot demonstrate the accuracy of any student’s residency status may be required to repay the state
aid received for that student.
VERIFIABLE DOCUMENTATION
A.R.S. § 15-802(B) requires school districts and charter schools to obtain and maintain verifiable
documentation of Arizona residency upon enrollment in an Arizona public school. This document is
designed to assist school districts and charter schools in meeting the legal requirements of the statute.
The documentation required by A.R.S. § 15-802 must be provided each time a student enrolls in a
school district or charter school in this state, and reaffirmed during the district or charter’s annual
registration process via the district or charter’s annual registration form. The documentation
supporting Arizona residency should be maintained according to the school’s records retention
schedule.
In general, students will fall into one of two groups: (1) those whose parent or legal guardian is able to
provide documentation bearing his or her name and address; and (2) those whose parent/legal guardian
cannot document his or her own residence because of extenuating circumstances including, but not
limited to, that the family’s household is multi-generational. Different documentation is required for each
circumstance.
1.
Parent(s) or legal guardian(s) that maintains his or her own residence: The parent or legal
guardian must complete and sign a form indicating his or her name, the name of the school district, school
site, or charter school in which the student is being enrolled, and provide one of the following documents,
which bear the parent or legal guardian’s full name and residential address or physical description of the
property where the student resides (no P.O. Boxes):
•
•
•
•
#2306606
Valid Arizona driver’s license, Arizona identification card
Valid Arizona motor vehicle registration
Valid United States passport
Property deed
•

Rental agreement or lease (including Section 8 agreement)
Utility bill (water, electric, gas, cable, phone)
Bank or credit card statement
W-2 wage statement
Payroll stub
Certificate of tribal enrollment or other identification issued by a recognized Indian tribe
Other documentation from a state, tribal, or federal agency (Social Security Administration,
Veterans’ Administration, Arizona Department of Economic Security, etc.)
2.
Parent(s) or legal guardian(s) that does not maintain his or her own residence: The parent
or legal guardian must complete and sign a form indicating his or her name, the name of the school
district, school site, or charter school in which the student is being enrolled, and submit a signed,
notarized affidavit bearing the name and address of the person who maintains the residence where the
student lives attesting to the fact that the student resides at that address, along with a document from the
bulleted list above bearing the name and address of the person who maintains the residence. A model
affidavit is available for schools at: http://www.azed.gov/finance/files/2011/10/arizona-residencyguidelines.pdf .
USE OF AND RETENTION OF DOCUMENTS BY SCHOOLS
School officials must retain a copy of the attestations or affidavits and copies of any supporting
documentation presented for each student (photocopies acceptable) that school officials believe establish
validity. Documents presented may be different in each circumstance, and unique to the living situation
of the student. Documents retained by the school district or charter school may be used as an indicia of
residency; however, documentation is subject to audit by the Department. Personally identifiable
information other than name and address (SSN, account numbers, etc.) should be redacted from the
documentation either by the parent/guardian or the school official prior to filing.

Helping All Children Succeed
Do you have concerns about your child’s development or progress in school?
What Is Child Find?
Child find is a component of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA '04) that requires states to locate, identify, and
evaluate all children with disabilities, aged birth through 21, who are in need of early intervention or special education services.
This includes children who are highly mobile, such as migrant or homeless children, children suspected of having a disability even
though they are advancing from grade to grade, private school students, and homeschool students. The Arizona initiative for child
find is referred to as AZ FIND.
Children Develop at Different Rates
Some children have more difficulty learning than others. They may have trouble achieving milestones in one or more of the
following developmental or academic areas:

Vision and Hearing

Speech or Communication Skills

Motor Control or Coordination

Cognitive or Academic Skills

Behavior or Social Skills
The earlier you express your concerns, the sooner your child’s needs will be identified and the sooner he or she will receive the
help needed to succeed. Anyone can refer a child, birth through age 21, for early intervention or special education services. The
referral can come from a parent, foster parent, teacher, counselor, friend, relative, or the student who finds learning difficult.
Screening and evaluation services are free.
If You Have Concerns
If you have concerns about your child’s development or progress in school, contact the Arizona Early Intervention Program
(AzEIP) or your local school. AzEIP screens children ages birth to 2 years 10 1/2 months to determine if early intervention
services are needed. An AzEIP specialist will come to your home to talk with you about your concerns and observe your child. If
your child is found eligible, a plan will be designed to include strategies, activities, and supports to achieve desired outcomes
related to your child’s development.
For concerns regarding your child ages 2 years 10 1/2 months through 21 years, contact your local school district or the charter
school your child attends. Public schools use a screening process to check your child’s development and academic progress. If an
evaluation is needed, you will be a part of the evaluation team. You will be involved in the decision-making process to determine if
your child is eligible for special education and related services. Eligible students are entitled to a free and appropriate public
education (FAPE).
Who Can Help?
For children ages birth to 2 years 10 1/2 months, contact AzEIP at: www.azdes.gov/azeip, or call 1-888-439-5609 or (602)
532-9960.
For children ages 2 years 10 1/2 months through 21 years, contact your local school district or the charter school that your child
attends. For children attending private schools, contact your principal for a referral to the appropriate public education agency.
Information Is Confidential
All information contained in the screening or evaluation is confidential.
Parent Involvement
Parent involvement in the special education process is critical to your child’s success. You are the best advocate for your child.

Ask the school for a copy of the Procedural Safeguards Notice. This will explain your special education rights.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Find out what tests will be given to your child and why they have been considered.

Be involved in your child’s evaluation. Find out what kind of information you will be asked to contribute to the process.

Request copies of important paperwork, including a copy of the final report. Maintain those documents in a safe place.

Keep a log of phone calls. Use your calendar to track testing dates and meetings.

Ayudando a Que Todos Los Niños Tengan Exito
¿Le preocupa el desarollo de su niño o su progreso en la escuela?
¿Qué Es Child Find?
Child Find es un componente de la Ley de Educación de Individuos con Discapacidades 2004 (IDEA ‘04 por sus siglas en inglés),
que requiere que los estados localizen, identifiquen, y evalúen todo niño con discapacidades, desde recién nacido hasta la edad
de 21 años, que necesitan intervención temprana o servicios de educación especial. Esto incluye a niños que son móviles, tal
como niños migrantes o sin hogar, niños quienes se sospecha tener discapacidades aunque están avanzando de grado a grado,
estudiantes en escuelas privadas, y estudiantes educados en sus hogares. La iniciativa de Arizona para child find es AZ FIND.
Los Niños se Desarrollan a Diferentes Niveles
Algunos niños tienen más dificultad en el aprender que otros. Pueden tener dificultad en alcanzar hitos en una o más de las
siguientes áreas de desarrollo o académicas:
 Visión o el Oir
 Control Motor o Coordinación
 Comportamiento o Destrezas Sociales
 Lenguaje o Destrezas de Comunicación
 Cognitivo o Destrezas Académicas
Cuanto más temprano usted exprese sus preocupaciones, lo más pronto que las necesidades de su niño seran identificadas, y lo
más pronto que él o ella recibirá la ayuda necesaria para tener éxito. Cualquier persona puede referir a un niño, desde
recien nacido hasta la edad de 21 años, para servicios de intervención temprana o educación especial. El referido puede llegar de
un padre, padre de acogida, maestro, consejero, amigo, pariente, o el estudiante que se le hace dificil el aprendizaje. Servicios de

Si le preocupa el desarrollo de su niño o su progreso en la escuela, comuníquese con el Programa de Intervención Temprana de
Arizona (AzEIP), o su escuela local. AzEIP evalua los niños desde recien nacidos hasta 2 años 10 1/2 meses, para determiner si
los servicios de intervención temprana son necesarios. Un especialista de AzEIP vendrá a su hogar para hablar con usted acerca
sus preocupaciones y para observer a su niño. Si su niño es elegible, se diseñará un plan que incluirá estrategias, actividades, y
apoyos para alcanzar las metas deseadas para el desarrollo de su niño.
Para preocupaciones con relación a su niño de las edades de 2 años 10 meses hasta 21 años, comuníquese con el distrito escolar
local o escuela charter donde atiende su niño. Las escuelas públicas usan un proceso de investigación para comprobar el
desarrollo de su niño y progreso académico. Si se necesita una evaluación usted será parte del equipo de evaluación. Usted

Arizona State Department of Education--Move On When Reading
Requirements
In this information age, acquiring the ability to read and write proficiently is both
necessary and crucial for a student’s academic success. It is essential that K-3 students
have full access to effective, strategic and purposeful reading and writing instruction using
strategies that have been proven to be successful with research and evidence.
In 2002, Arizona state statue, A.R.S. § 15-704 requires schools/charters to provide effective reading instruction,
with initial screening; on-going diagnostic and classroom based reading assessments, and a system to monitor
student progress.
In 2010, Arizona’s revised statue A.R.S. § 15-701 established the requirement that a pupil not be promoted from
the third grade if the pupil obtains a score on the reading portion of the Arizona Instrument to Measure
Standards test (AIMS) or a successor test, that demonstrates that the pupil’s reading falls far below the third
grade level.
In 2012, Arizona’s revised statue A.R.S. § 15-211 (A) requires all schools with a K-3 program to submit a
comprehensive plan for reading instruction and intervention across grade kindergarten through grade three.
State funding is provided to schools to support the implementation of their K-3 reading plan. The goal is to have
all grade three students in Arizona reading proficiently at grade level.
There are two exemptions from ARS §15-701. In accordance with the new law, a school district, or governing
board, or the governing body of a charter school may be allowed to promote a student who earns an AIMS score
that falls far below the third grade level for the following reasons:


English Language Learners or Limited English Proficient that have received less than two years of English
instruction; and/or
Students with disabilities provided that the pupil’s individualized education program (IEP) team and the
pupil’s parent or guardian agree that promotion is appropriate based on the pupil’s IEP.

The best reading support you can give your child is to read daily, nightly and always to your child. A suggested
20 minutes a day is great, more is even better, and research has shown that reading to your child in their home
language is just as beneficial as the second language they are trying to learn!! So READ, READ and READ some
more with your child!!

State Move On When Reading requirements.
