- "A child who is not residing with the custodial parent may be excluded from the school zoned for the area where she does live. For example, a student may live with her grandmother, while her father lives at a different address. Since her father is still her parent and retains responsibility for his daughter's welfare, she does not have a right to attend the school in her grandmother's zone. Only if her father had abandoned her or was for some reason incapable of taking care of his daughter, would the grandmother's residence be the girl's residence and the place that determined her school zone. This policy was largely devised to make sure that families were not sending their children to live with relatives in order to take advantage of better schools in that zone." Does that mean the child's zone is the father's even though child does not live in that zone?
