The days of Alabama students attending school in Escambia County, Florida schools are over, and students from Escambia, Florida, including those from the closing Carver/Century K-8 School, will not be allowed to attend school in Alabama.
“Nothing has changed,” Escambia County Superintendent Malcolm Thomas told NorthEscambia.com. “We do not have an agreement, and we have a plan that we intend on enforcing.”
“We have a policy in effect that parents must now show proof of residency and a Florida drivers license in order to enroll their child,” Thomas said. “Someone may go to the extreme of living in Alabama but somehow getting a proof of residency and a Florida drivers license, we will most likely enroll that student. I don’t have the resources to go out and verify that every student lives at the address we have.”
“If these people are fabricating addresses, we will do what we can,” he said. “It might take some time before you can validate it in some way. This will be hard to manage if people go to an extreme. We don’t have the resources to check every student.”
