When to Order Each Service:

Order a Quick Scan Residency Review when:

A represented address must be compared against public & commercial records
Early indicators are required before initiating field activity
District staff need objective data to determine next steps

Quick Scan services include a desktop review of the parent or guardian, comparing the represented address to:

Property Ownership Records
Vehicle Registrations
Voter Registration Records
Licensing Records
Business Filings
County Records and Utilities (when available)

The Quick Scan is the primary intake option and is designed to provide fast, cost‑effective insight using documented indicators.



A Residency Investigation is escalated when:

A Quick Scan identifies inconsistencies or unresolved questions
Residency patterns require observational confirmation
Additional documentation is needed to support a defensible outcome

Escalated residency investigations may include:

ROC (Remote Observational Camera) surveillance using three to five consecutive 24‑hour observation periods on school days, when appropriate
Person-Led Surveillance to observe parent or guardian movement to a bus stop or school

ROC surveillance is most commonly requested and focuses on documenting overnight residency patterns, while manned surveillance is used when daily movement is central to the inquiry.
