Residents Residing on a Split Lot Property
Please be advised that for property owners who reside on a split lot property, you may designate a school district of attendance by submitting a written designation to the District Clerk of both school districts. We strongly suggest certified mail or if completed in person, a dated acknowledgment of receipt. The designation must be made on or before August 1 of the upcoming school year. A designation filed after August 1 will become effective for the following school year.
If you need assistance or require additional information about the process for designating a school district of attendance, please contact Laurie Baum at (914) 937-3600 Ext 1003. The District Designation Form is linked on the right-hand side of this page.
