The district publishes through its board portal, which often points to a whole policy folder or meeting agenda rather than this one document. Rather than send you digging, I'll add the exact source the moment I can link it directly. The plain-English summary below is drawn faithfully from that original.

In plain English
What this document actually says
This administrative regulation, adopted December 14, 2004, allows students to enroll in Reed Union School District if they live with a caregiver (not their parent/guardian) within district boundaries. The caregiver must complete a legal affidavit under penalty of perjury when the student enrolls. The district will continue to notify the student's actual parents/guardians about major decisions like enrollment, discipline, and final grades whenever their location is known. Caregivers who file the required affidavit can authorize medical care related to school activities and will receive copies of all school notices. This policy ensures children living with caregivers can attend their local school while preserving parental rights for important educational decisions.
What this means for your family
If your child lives with a caregiver (like a grandparent or other adult) within district boundaries, they can attend Reed Union schools. The caregiver must sign a legal document and will receive school communications and can approve school medical care, but biological parents retain decision-making rights for major educational matters like enrollment and discipline when they can be contacted.
