S 171 Vermont Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An act relating to the legal residency of a student following displacement by a natural disaster

This bill allows students displaced by natural disasters to keep attending their original school even if they or their parents no longer live in that school district. It modifies Vermont's education residency rules by exempting displaced students from standard residency requirements for enrollment purposes. The law also ensures these students count toward their original school district's enrollment numbers, which affects funding calculations. This change applies to students affected by natural disasters starting July 1, 2024.
