AI Summary
This bill expands the definition of a child's legal residence for school attendance purposes to include any school district where their parents or legal guardians pay property taxes or school district taxes, in addition to where they reside. This change applies to various situations, including when parents live apart, are divorced with joint custody, or when a legal guardian is appointed. The bill also clarifies that a "legal resident" of a school district is someone domiciled there or who pays property or school district taxes in that district and intends to return there indefinitely if temporarily absent.
