That’s not a new rule. That’s been the rule for decades. The thing that changed about the rule most recently, is that it was clarified that an employee who resides out of Davidson County’s district can only enroll their kid into the feeder patter in which they teach. So, if a teacher comes across from Randolph to teach at South, they can send their kid to Silver Valley, Denton or SDMHS. They can’t sent them to schools in any other feeder pattern. They still must go through the process of having their home school district release them via the appropriate paperwork. That’s just a formality, but it still must be done. Lexington and Thomasville district residents who work for DCS must do the same thing.
A county employee who lives in the DCS area, but lives in another high school’s feeder pattern doesn’t have to jump through quite as many hoops.
