State law requires that all students attending Clover School District (York 2) must reside with legal residents of the district. Generally, a student must be living with a parent or legal guardian who resides within the boundaries of our school district and possesses appropriate custody documents. At the time the student is registered, parents/guardians will be required to provide all necessary custodial documentation and documents required for verification of residency as outlined below. New Clover School District Enrollees must provide photo identification.

Registration of a student who is not a resident as defined above is a fraudulent act. Any student found to have been fraudulently registered will be dropped from Clover School District rolls. District policy states that parents/guardians making a fraudulent registration may be charged tuition for the period of time the fraud occurred. The school district reserves the right to request additional information to verify residency.
