You will not be asked for any information or document protected from disclosure by law, or pertaining to criteria which are not legitimate bases for determining eligibility to attend school. You may voluntarily disclose any documents or information you believe will help establish that the student meets the requirements of law for the entitlement to attend school in the district, but we may not, directly or indirectly, require or request:
- Income tax returns
- Documentation or information relating to citizenship or immigration/visa status, unless the student holds or is applying for an F‐1 visa
