STUDENT TRANSFER PROCESS (repeat)
A completed request will be required for any student who seeks to attend a school that is not within his or her primary geographic attendance boundary or for any student who does not live within the Gardner Edgerton School district boundaries. Each request needs to be made electronically via the Google Forms link below.
In order to process student Intra-District transfer and Non-Resident requests for SY 20-21 in a timely manner, the following timeline has been established:
Monday, March 9 - Intra-District transfer and Non-Resident request hyperlinks are accessible to the public.
Friday, April 17 - Last day for families to submit transfer requests.
Families will be notified of decisions by June 13, 2020.
Some extra reminders:
A separate request is required for EACH student.
Requests are considered on the basis of class sizes, future enrollments, and the student’s attendance, academic progress, and conduct.
The request is valid for one year only and may not be renewed due to class size increases (crowded conditions) or if the student does not fulfill the necessary academic progress, attendance, and conduct requirements.
When applicable, students who do not re-apply for an intra-district transfer will be returned to their school of residency in Skyward, based on current address.
Students/families who are delinquent as it relates to paying FEES will not be approved for transfer until fees are paid.
If transfer is approved, transportation WILL NOT be provided by the district.
Approval, regardless of “Reason for Request”, is NOT guaranteed.
USD 231 reserves the right to cancel, revoke, or rescind approved requests at any time.

Sunflower Site Council Meetings 2019-2020
The Sunflower Site Council will be meeting at 6 pm in the library on the following dates:
9/17/19, 11/12/19, 2/11/20, 4/14/20.
All meetings are open to the public.
Kansas schools are required to establish site councils composed of the principal, teachers and other school personnel, parents, business representatives, and other community groups.
Site councils have a responsibility to provide advice and counsel in the following areas: evaluating district and school performance goals and objectives, determining methods to meet those goals and objectives, and other areas as requested by the board of education.
Remember, the work of the site council is advisory only; it makes recommendations, not decisions.
