Lammersville board approves pilot to verify student addresses as enrollment climbs
Summary
The district will pilot an address‑verification process for current 8th graders beginning Feb. 7, using InformK12 and Aeries fields to confirm residences and reduce out‑of‑area enrollment, as staff warn rapid housing growth will strain operations.
The Lammersville Joint Unified School District will pilot an address‑verification process beginning Feb. 7 for current eighth graders, district staff told trustees at the Feb. 5 meeting. Executive Director Boos Till said the pilot will ask families to submit two proofs of residence through InformK12 and staff will review submissions through March 24, with follow‑up beginning March 25.
Boos Till said the process is designed to respond to parent concerns that students from outside village boundaries are attending neighborhood campuses. "The recommendation for an address verification process came from a couple of different things," he said, adding staff reviewed other districts' approaches and found tradeoffs in using Aeries alone. Trustees debated form design and workload for staff; Trustee Modigliani said the current form is confusing and urged a simpler workflow for parents to minimize callbacks and staff time.
Trustees pressed staff on whether the pilot would require additional personnel. Boos Till said he did not anticipate extra hiring immediately and described InformK12's workflow that returns submissions to a digital folder and sends a notification to student services for review. "If something comes in on InformK12 and something is not correct... that form can be sent back to the initiator," he said.
Staff plans to phase the program, adding four additional grade levels per year after the pilot, and to activate Aeries fields so families with multiple students do not upload documents multiple times. Trustees asked staff to collect feedback on parent experience and time spent processing submissions to evaluate whether the form and platform suffice.
Why it matters: District officials said the pilot is aimed at protecting neighborhood seats and ensuring accurate enrollment data that determine class counts, staffing and state reporting. The measure comes as the district forecasts faster growth tied to housing developments north of Byron Highway.
