Time for the Re-Registration Shuffle


Dig out your documentation. The Morrisville branch of the immigration service is checking to see who crossed the border into Pennsylvania.

Re-registration in Morrisville Schools
Posted in News on Thursday, July 24th, 2008 at 5:00 pm by Courier Times reporter Manasee Wagh

The Morrisville School District will be conducting re-registration this summer. All students who will be attending the Morrisville School District in the Fall and were in kindergarten to 11th grade during the 2007-2008 school year will be required to reregister. New students are not included in this re-registration.

CLASS SCHEDULES AND ASSIGNMENTS WILL NOT BE SENT UNTIL YOUR STUDENT IS RE-REGISTERED.

Re-registration will be held in all of the schools during the day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 8:30 am to noon and from 1 pm to 3 pm throughout the month of August.

If you are unable to re-register during the day, you can do it on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings during the first three weeks in August from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm in the LGI (Large Group Instruction) room of the middle/senior high school. There will be two Saturday re-registrations. They will be held August 9 and 16 from 10 am to 3 pm at the middle senior high school in the LGI.

Please bring proof of identification for yourself in the form of a PA state issued ID card or valid PA driver’s license, passport or military ID.

Also bring four proofs of residency. All must have the same address information.

One of the items must be a moving permit, deed, 2008 tax bill, mortgage payment bill/booklet, or lease.

The following will be accepted as proof of residency: deed or agreement of sale, per capita tax bill or paid receipt, moving permit, bank statement, automobile registration, lease verified by apartment superintendent, welfare identification, current cable or other utility statement, property tax bill or paid tax receipt, W-2 statement/IRS statement or tax return, automobile/homeowners/tenant insurance statement.

You do not need to bring any documents for your children.

What happened to HAVING to supply a tax form with the child(ren)names on it? How does this prove the kids lives in the house????????????????????????????
Good Grief!

I do my taxes by myself using a tax program. I can generate a tax form listing the Brady Bunch and the Waltons as living at my address and send it in to the schools. It's not really reliable any longer.

Sounds like a money making idea...
Tax Forms "Get your Tax Forms"

What if a CPA did the taxes? That would mean it's official and true because everyone knows a CPA is always doing the right thing.

I have some questions:

Current board members -We've been through this over, and over, and over has anyone bothered to see if there is evidence that it has worked?

Who decided on this process? Was it done in a public vote?

Leaving out the information on children, how is guardianship established?

What is the intent? Does this board really think they are going to have a miraculous decrease in attending students by adding yet one more burden to parents and by spending staff time and money to go through the process yet again?

How is our privacy being protected with the information we are supplying?

Only the parents who have something to hide will be unhappy with a re-registration. It is your patriotic duty as an American to cooperate with the civil authorities to ensure that we all thrive.

So says the sycophant. Imagine if a certain person for who the town is named adopted your attitude...

I have absolutely nothing to hide and I'm annoyed.

Does anyone think that enrollment will drop drastically because of this? I think not!!!

Perhaps "But I wasn't doing anything" was being sarcastic. I certainly hope so. If not, your mindset is chilling.

Patriotic would be upholding the children's right to a free and appropriate education. Patriotic would be treating all members of the community as equals, not "going after" those who live in apartments.

Bureaucratic, selective red tape has nothing to do with patriotism, and questioning it is an assertion of rights, not a neglect of civil responsibility. Intimidation, and suppression of the public's right to access information and be heard is unpatriotic.

I'm a home-owning, Morrisville Borough residing, taxpaying parent of public school students, and I'm unhappy with this repeated harrassment. My children belong in this community and have a right to their public education. They are not asking for anything other than what all citizens of this country have a right to, and we should not have to go begging for it.

Anyone else?

It all defies logic.

1) If there are people who have scammed the system at the initial registration to get their kids into the school, they'll scam the system again.

2) Not worth the time. During the school board meeting in which finding those scammers was brought up, it was reported that 5 or 6 people were asked to leave. Is it worth the time and effort to find these few scammers? I don't think so.

3) Not enough kids. We'll never be able to drop enough kids from the rolls to decrease taxes unless we do something extreme like hand them a diploma at the end of 8th grade. (I'm sure someone has already thought about this one)

4) The illusion of government is worse that no government. By making people re-register, the board can sleep soundly feeling like they've done something. But they've done nothing but annoy the honest. Congratulations!
