Can a school ask you to prove you paid your electric bill in order to enroll a child in school?
I tried to enroll a child in a Chesapeake, Virginia school today and the office
lady seen that I have a past due balance on my electric bill and asked me if I
had paid my bill. I told her it was none of her business and she told me I
have to provide proof (receipt of payment) that I have paid that past due
balance before they will allow me to enroll my child in school.
She told me it is state law! (Which I do not believe)
Is this true and can they really make me provide proof I paid my electric bill before they will let me register?
