Fayette schools require residency proof

Fayette County public schools are conducting the first residency verification in eight years to make sure only eligible students are enrolled.

By Aug. 19, parents must provide an electric bill dated within 60 days that includes the parent’s name and address (which must match the service address). Parents of enrolled students have already received an email to which they can reply with a scanned copy or photograph of the electric bill, along with the names and schools of all children at that address.

The document can also be brought to the children’s schools or to the Enrollment and Records Center at 205 LaFayette Ave. in Fayetteville.
