If a birth certificate is not available, the parent is to complete Form 5111 F1 and submit the documentary evidence called for therein.

If such verification is not received within thirty (30) days or the document appears to be inaccurate or suspicious, the principal shall notify the Clare County Sheriff's Department.
Students without appropriate records will be admitted under temporary enrollment for a period of ten (10) days, unless extended by the principal. Parents are to be so informed at the time of admission.
The sending school shall be contacted within twenty-four (24) hours of the student's entry into the school and requested to send all appropriate records.
If the school indicates no record of the student's attendance or the records are not received within fourteen (14) days of the date of request, or if the student does not present a certification of birth or other documentary evidence, the principal shall immediately notify the law enforcement agency where the student resided and the sheriff's department that s/he may be a missing child.
Immunization requirements are to be in accordance with A.G. 5320.
