Sec. 222.35  How does a local educational agency count the membership 

of its federally connected children?



    An applicant counts the membership of its federally connected 

children by using one or both of the following methods:

    (a) Parent-pupil survey. An applicant may conduct a parent-pupil 

survey to count the membership of its federally connected children, 

which must be counted as of the survey date.

    (1) The applicant shall conduct a parent-pupil survey by providing a 

form to a parent of each pupil enrolled in the LEA to substantiate the 

pupil's place of residence and the parent's place of employment. A 

parent-pupil survey form must include the following:

    (i) Pupil enrollment information (this information may also be 

obtained from school records), including--

    (A) Name of pupil;

    (B) Date of birth of the pupil; and

    (C) Name of public school and grade of the pupil.

    (ii) Pupil residence and parent employment information, including--

    (A) Address of the pupil's residence (or other location information 

for that residence, such as legal description), including the name of 

the Federal facility if the pupil's residence is on Federal property; 

and

    (B) Name (as it appears on the employer's payroll record) of the 

parent (mother, father, legal guardian or other person standing in loco 

parentis) who is employed on Federal property and with whom the pupil 

resides (unless the parent is a member of the uniformed services on 

active duty);

    (C) Name and address of the Federal property on which the parent is 

employed (or other location information, such as legal description), 

unless the parent is a member of the uniformed services on active duty;

    (D) If the parent is a member of the uniformed services on active 

duty, the name, rank, and branch of service of that parent;

    (E) If the parent is a civilian employed on a Federal vessel, the 

name of the vessel, hull number, and name of the controlling agency;

    (F) The signature of the parent supplying the information and the 

date of such signature; and

    (G) The name of the parent's employer and the employer's address (or 

other location information, such as legal description), unless a parent 

is a

member of the uniformed services on active duty.

    (2) An LEA may accept a parent-pupil survey form, or a parent-pupil 

survey form that is signed by a person other than a parent, only under 

unusual circumstances. In those instances, the parent-pupil survey form 

must show why the parent did not sign the survey form, and when, how, 

and from whom the residence and employment information was obtained.

    (b) Source check. (1) An applicant may count the membership of its 

federally connected children by using a source check to substantiate a 

pupil's place of residence or parent's place of employment on the survey 

date.

    (2) A source check is a form provided--

    (i) To a parent's employer, on which the employer certifies as to 

the place of employment of a parent of a pupil claimed;

    (ii) To a housing official, on which the official certifies as to 

the residence of each pupil claimed; or

    (iii) To a tribal official, on which the official certifies as to 

the residence of each pupil claimed residing on Indian lands over which 

that tribal official has jurisdiction.
