The Town of Shrewsbury must be the legal residence of parent/guardian(s) and student(s) in order to attend school in Shrewsbury Public Schools.  If using a P&S agreement, you must be residing in the home within 60 days of the closing date listed on the P&S according to School Committee policy.  Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 76, Section 5 states: "Every person shall have a right to attend the public schools of the town where he/she actually resides, subject to the following section.  No school committee is required to enroll a person who does not actually reside in the town unless said enrollment is authorized by law or by the school committee.  Any person who violates or assists in the violation of this provision may be required to remit full restitution to the town of the improperly-attended public schools.  No person shall be excluded from or discriminated against in admission to a public school of any town, or in obtaining the advantages, privileges and courses of study of such public school on account of race, color, sex, religion, national origin or sexual orientation." (Amended by st. 1971, c.622, c.1; st. 1973, c. 925, s.9A, st. 1993, c.282; st.2004, c.352, s.33)

To be eligible to attend Shrewsbury Public Schools, parent/guardian(s) and student(s) must physically reside within the bounds of the Town of Shrewsbury.  Owning property, paying taxes, or residing in a building that is partially within town boundaries (driveway, land, etc.) alone does not meet criteria to enroll.  Please click here to see the map of the town lines and residences eligible for enrollment in Shrewsbury Public Schools.

If warranted, residency checks may be conducted by the School Department or the Shrewsbury Police Department at any time during a child's enrollment in the Shrewsbury Public Schools.
