Child residence verification (for schools)

Child residence verification (for schools)

So this is the second time I've been asked this, so it may be common for school districts in my property's area. Not to mention, I know that the school district divide is very, very close to my property.

Anyway, I have a tenant that previously lived there with her child. She got married and I'm guessing her wife has a child also because I'm being requested to provide a letter stating that the two children live there. She told me she had a spouse moving in, so that's not an issue. I also don't have problems if a new child moved in too.

My question is whether or not the tenant simply telling me another child is there is enough for me to write a letter about it? This doesn't seem like that big a deal to me, but don't want to get into any "trouble" by overlooking anything. 

I don't have any reason to distrust this tenant BTW, just wouldn't have any idea how to verify a child is living there or not.

    It is not your burden to be the school district police.  You have knowledge in good faith that the child lives there.  I would write the letter.

    Thank you, and yes I agree. I couldn't think of any reason I could get in trouble over it, but thought I'd pose the question.
