Interdistrict and District of Choice Transfer Requests

The Board recognizes that students who reside in one district may choose to attend school in another district and that such choices are made for a variety of reasons.

Upon request by students' parents/guardians, the Superintendent or designee is authorized to approve or deny School District of Choice and/or Interdistrict Attendance Agreements with other districts on a case by case basis to meet individual student needs in accordance with established district policy and regulations.

Please follow the instructions below based on your transfer request:

The district of choice may reject the transfer if:

it would negatively impact any desegregation plan or racial and ethnic balance of the district
it requires the district to create a new program or provide a new service to meet the student’s needs
it would cause a student who resides or is currently enrolled in the district to be displaced
the student has been expelled from another school district
