MCCOMB, Miss. (AP) — The first phase of residency verifications for North Pike School District is complete.
Superintendent Dennis Penton tells the Enterprise-Journal (http://bit.ly/1G386jH) out of 187 affidavits, about 30 were questionable.
Penton said for parents who falsified information, corrective action in the form of criminal charges, removal of students from the district or a combination of the two will take place.
Trustee Kevin Matthew mentioned at several past board meetings, including the Oct. 1 meeting, that he has heard reports of students riding the bus from a driveway that has no house connected to it.
Penton said those situations will be investigated, mostly for the safety of students.
