Proof of Residency Requirements

Hawthorn District 73 is required to verify residency for all students enrolling in the district. Residency verification is part of the registration process and must be completed before enrollment is finalized. IMPORTANT: Hawthorn may require any student to prove residency at any time.

In order for a student to attend District 73, a parent/guardian of the registering child is required to provide one piece of documentation related to each of the three categories listed below:

State Law (105 ILCS 5/10-20.12b, 105 ILCS 5/14-1.11a) requires that students attending District 73 be bona fide residents of the District. Generally, to be a bona fide resident, a student must live with a parent or guardian who resides within the District. Any person who knowingly enrolls or attempts to enroll in the schools of a school district on a tuition free basis a pupil known by that person to be a nonresident of the District or any person who knowingly or willfully presents to any school district any false information regarding the residency of a pupil for the purpose of enabling that pupil to attend any school in that district without the payment of a nonresident tuition charge shall be guilty of a Class C misdemeanor. Anyone who knowingly or willfully provides false information shall be referred for criminal prosecution.

Disclaimer

Hawthorn District 73 has contracted with a third-party vendor to automatically verify student address information for all students/families. We anticipate the majority of families will be successfully verified without needing to provide any additional forms. However, if additional documentation for verification is needed, the District Office will contact you directly to provide additional documentation from the categories listed below to verify where the student is living.
