§ 3241. School  census in cities, except in cities having a population
  of one hundred twenty-five thousand or more. 1. The board  of  education
  of  each  city,  except  in  cities  having  a population of one hundred
  twenty-five thousand or more, shall constitute a permanent census  board
  in such city. Such board shall, under its regulations, cause a census of
  the  children in its city to be taken and to be amended from day to day,
  as changes of residence shall occur among persons in such cities  within
  the  ages  prescribed  in  subdivision  two of this section and as other
  persons shall come within the  ages  prescribed  therein  and  as  other
  persons  within such ages shall become residents of such cities, so that
  there shall always be on file with such board a complete  census  giving
  the  facts  and information required in subdivision two of this section;
  provided, however, that for pre-school students from birth to five years
  of age, such census may be prepared and filed biennially  on  or  before
  the fifteenth day of October.
2.  Such  census  shall include all persons between birth and eighteen
  years of age and in the  case  of  physically  or  mentally  handicapped
  children  between  birth and twenty-one years of age, their names, their
  respective residences by street and number, the day of the month and the
  year of their birth, the names of the persons in  parental  relation  to
  them,  such  information  relating  to  physical  or  mental defects, to
  illiteracy, to employment and to the enforcement of the law relating  to
  child labor and compulsory education as the education department and the
  board of education of each such city shall require and also such further
  information as such board of education shall require.
3.  Such  board  shall  provide  to the commissioner of education upon
  written request therefor and in such form as shall be prescribed by him,
  a report containing the names, ages and addresses of those children  who
  are  blind  or deaf and those having serious physical or mental defects.
  In addition such report shall indicate whether such children  are  being
  educated  within the public schools of the district or, if they are not,
  where such education is being furnished them.
4. It shall be the duty of persons in parental relation to any  person
  between  such  ages  residing within the limits of any such city to make
  such reports as the board of education of such city shall require.  Such
  reports shall contain the following information:
a.  Two  weeks  before any child shall become of the compulsory school
  age, the name of such child, its residence, the name of  the  person  or
  persons  in  parental relation thereto, and the name and location of the
  school to which such child shall have been or shall be sent as a pupil.
b. In case a child of compulsory school age shall, for any  cause,  be
  removed  from  one school and sent to another school, or sent to work in
  accordance with the labor law, all the facts in relation thereto.
c. In case the residence of a child shall be removed from  one  police
  precinct  to  another  police  precinct, the new residence and the other
  facts required in paragraphs a and b of this subdivision.
