The Tangipahoa Parish School Board requires every student attending a school in the District and every student seeking initial enrollment in the District to complete online registration and provide proof of residency. All children (including Pre-K & K) enrolling in Tangipahoa Parish public schools are required to meet pertinent eligibility requirements. No student will be excluded from the appropriate school within the school district except by due process or failure to meet specifications of Board policies. The Board recognizes that providing equality of educational opportunities for all children requires objectivity. The Board is equally concerned that all admission policies adhere strictly to applicable legal requirements, e.g. health-related standards.
