The Mid-Del School District has been established for the purpose of serving the educational interests of resident students. State law provides that a child's residence for school enrollment purposes is "the school district in which the parents, guardian, or person having legal custody holds legal residence".

No child shall be permitted to attend any Mid-Del School District school whose parent, guardian, person or institution holding legal custody of such child are not legal residents of Independent School District No. 52, unless they conform to the Student Transfer Policy. Legal residency must be proved each school year for every student by providing the following:
