Minidoka County Joint School District # 331 PAGE 1 of 1

The Board of Trustees of Minidoka County Joint School District No. 331 may annually, or as
needed, establish attendance zones to govern student populations at each individual school or to
better manage the District in transportation or other needed factors.

Provisions:

The following may assist in the establishment of attendance zones:

1. Zoning of school attendance areas shall be reviewed annually by the administrative staff,
and recommendations, if needed, will be made to the Board of Trustees.

2. The official residence of a student is that of his/her parent(s) or legal guardian. A student
may not claim residency by living with any relative or other person unless such relative
or other person is a legal guardian as declared by the courts.

3. Applications for open enrollment must be made by the date of February 1st annually or as
specified by Idaho Code 33-1402 on the forms so required.

4. Exception to attendance zones can be approved by the Superintendent consistent with

Idaho Code sections above referenced or upon cases where critical conditions exist which
may assist the student by placing him/her into a more positive environment, or removal
of the student when conditions exist which may seriously threaten the educational,
physical, or emotional welfare of the student.
