Thornton Fractional High School District 215 is committed to maintaining accurate residency records to ensure that all students receive services fairly and in accordance with state law. As part of this commitment, High School District 215 utilizes the Thomson Reuters CLEAR Program to assist with residency verification and physically verified by Rancilio & Associates.

The CLEAR system provides real-time reporting and data analysis, including information related to individuals, vehicles, and property. This allows the High School District 215 to identify patterns of residency and helps ensure that all enrolled students meet residency requirements. Our goal is to maintain transparency and accountability while supporting the integrity of our schools and community.

We want our community to know that these efforts are in place to protect resources and ensure they are used appropriately for residents of Thornton Fractional High District 215.
