Upon request, the head of an LEA, a principal of a school, or his or her designee shall provide to OSSE, or its designee, any and all documentation necessary to facilitate non-residency investigations within five (5) business days.
OSSE, or its designee, may investigate the residency status of a student or take other steps to verify the student's residency status if the student fails to provide adequate documentation to establish residency by October 5th of the current school year or ten (10) days following enrollment, whichever is later.
Proof of District residency which appears to be satisfactory neither prevents OSSE or school officials, with reasonable basis, from seeking further information to verify the student's residency or the other primary caregiver status of the adult enrolling the student, nor prevents OSSE, or its designee, from investigating the residency of the student or the residency or other primary caregiver status of the adult.
Upon request, the person seeking to enroll a student shall provide to OSSE or an appropriate school official, or the designee of either, documentation to establish residency in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 5004 or any other documentation necessary to facilitate non-residency investigations within ten (10) days of the request.
OSSE or its designee shall investigate allegations of non-residency and summarize the results of the investigation in a written report within a reasonable timeframe.
OSSE shall make the results of an investigation available to the LEA, the person seeking to enroll the student, the District of Columbia Office of the Inspector General and the District of Columbia Office of the Attorney General, upon request.
