TRANSFERS & NONRESIDENT REQUESTS
Approval or denial of transfer requests is based on criteria outlined in board policy 3131 for resident and 3141 for nonresident students.
Key Dates for 2019-2020 Student Transfer Requests
February 1, 2019
Transfer Request Accepted for the 2019-2020 School Year. Applications will be accepted at schools or at the district office.
FIRST ROUND - February 1 to March 15, 2019
Applications received by March 15 will be given first priority and will be notified of the district decision by April 30. New applications may be subject to a wait list and should register at their resident school until a decision is made.
SECOND ROUND - March 16 to May 31, 2019
Applications received by May 31 will be given second priority and notified of the district decision by June 30. New applications may be subject to a wait list and should register at their resident school until a decision is made.
After June 1, 2018 through the First Day of School
Applications received after May 31 will be considered in August on a case-by-case basis and may have to wait until actual enrollment counts in September before receiving notification. Please note that school offices are closed in July and part of August.
School Capacity and Waiting Lists
Many of our schools are experiencing over-crowding in some grade levels. This limits their ability to accept transfer students. Students denied based on capacity will be assigned to their resident school and placed on a waiting list for their requested school and notified if a space becomes available. Consideration of transfers from waiting lists typically does not occur until late August or early September.
Transportation
Parents will provide transportation for students who voluntarily attend a school outside their attendance area.
