Question

A parent/fellow teacher at my wife's school does not live within the school district. However, this other teacher has a sister(on the school board) who does live within the district. The teacher somehow signed over the educational rights of her child to the sister so that the child could attend school there, however he does not live with the sister. Basically a nonresident child is attending the school for free...is this legal in Pennsylvania?

Good morning,

I'm sorry to hear of your dilemma.

Are you saying that a teacher/mother at your wife's school, lives outside of the district, works at the school in the district, and that her child attends the school that this mother teaches at?

Accepted Answer

Good morning,

There is no such animal as signing over the educational rights of a child to a relative so that the child may attend a different school district, and such shenanigans are not allowed by school districts.

However, the fact that the mother/teacher works for the school district almost always gives the employee the right to have their child attend school in the district in which they are employed. This is an accommodation to the parent/employee who needs to schedule their work time around the needs of their child(ren) to be picked up and/or taken care of after school. So long as the parent/teacher continues to be employed by the school district, their child is allowed to attend school in that district.

I wish you and your family the best.
