§ 59-63-550 — School attendance; boundary clarification.

(A) Upon the effective date of the amendments to Section 1-1-10 which are effective January 1, 2017, enacting the clarified North Carolina—South Carolina boundary, persons residing on property which is determined to be located in North Carolina as a result of the boundary clarification, may enroll their children residing with them in the South Carolina district in which that property was previously believed to be located or in the statewide public charter school district, without charge, as long as the family maintains residence on that same property. For the purpose of this section regarding the boundary clarification, the word "children" includes those children who are residing with their legal guardians whose property is determined to be located in North Carolina as a result of the boundary clarification. (B) This section only applies to those persons residing on the property as of January 1, 2017, and their children who reside with them. Once those persons move from the property or no longer have children at home who are attending or will attend schools in the South Carolina K-12 public education system, then this provision no longer applies to that property. A district may draw down South Carolina state and federal funding for students enrolled under this section. (C) This section does not require a former South Carolina resident to continue enrollment of their children in school in South Carolina.
