“Students also can establish residence apart from their parents for other bona fide reasons such as family conflict, or the hardships of single parenting.” NYSSBA School Law 37th Edition Section 49.11

“All children must remain in attendance until the last day of the school year in which they reach the age of 16. In this context school year refers to the official school year commencing July 1 each year and ending June 30th of the following year…” NYSSBA School Law 37th Edition Section 48.1

“The school board or its designee determines whether a child is a resident entitled to attend the school of its district.” NYSSBA School Law 37th Edition Section 49.18
