In most cases, the caregiver enrolls the child in school and provides the school with the following documentation:

 •  the identity of the parent, legal guardian or legal authority (Form 2085 [sic, intranet link] DFPS Placement Authorization establishes the identity of the person having legal authority to enroll the child in school, and Form 2085E [sic, intranet link] Designation of Education Decision-Maker establishes the child’s education decision-maker);

 •  proof of the caregiver’s residence;

 •  proof of the child’s identity (the child’s birth certificate or another acceptable document);

 •  the child’s immunization records (see 15330 Immunization Requirements); and

 •  a copy of the child’s records from the school the child most recently attended, if the child has been previously enrolled in school.

All required school-related documents and records must be submitted to the school within 30 days of the child’s enrollment.
