OSSE’s Office of Enrollment and Residency (OER) is responsible for several interrelated District-wide policy functions: the annual enrollment audit, non-residency tip intake, residency investigations, and tuition administration for non-resident students. In the past, OSSE policy (beyond the regulations themselves) relating to these functions have primarily been communicated via trainings and case-specific guidance for LEAs.

In 2018, OER reviewed several key internal policies which are consolidated here for the first time, to provide additional specificity and clarity beyond what is currently in regulation. Before the start of the 2019-20 school year, OER plans to expand this document to include a more comprehensive set of non-regulatory policies (which may also include updates to the policies offered herein) and will update this OER handbook on a bi-annual basis.
