How students can attend a Griffin-Spalding County school…

In two words: live here. For age-eligible students to attend school in the Griffin-Spalding County School System, the student and family must reside in Spalding County. No longer is there a provision for out-of-county residents to pay tuition to attend school. Students also are enrolled in the school that serves their particular residential area.

Residency is confirmed when the student and family present two documents that show the family unit lives within the applicable school zone.

Dr. Curtis Jones, Superintendent, says, “To attend one of our schools, students must live in the county. We do allow children of employees to attend our schools, and we do comply with federal law; other than those two exceptions, our students are Spalding County residents.”

If the student’s family unit moves to Spalding County to live with a friend or relative, the adult with whom the child/family is living and the parent/legal guardian may complete an Affidavit of Residency for School Attendance. This document ascertains that the family lives with the Spalding County adult and is notarized to that effect. The school system follows up with the family to obtain the proof of residency at the address given within 30 days. School system personnel also check to see if the former address has been vacated.

Certain exceptions under state and federal law

Students who qualify under Georgia Senate Bill 10 may petition to attend school.
Homeless students may attend school here under the provisions of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act.
