Reasons for Approval
Reasons for Denial

Reasons for Approval

Change of Residence (Student may remain at the current school until the end of the current semester).
A full time or part time (must be eligible for benefits) district employee may transfer his/her child(ren) to the school where he/she works or to an open campus.
A full time or part time (must be eligible for benefits) district employee, with an approved transfer, whose job location changes due to reassignment, may apply for a transfer to leave his/her child(ren) at the current campus.
Serious medical/mental/psychological health conditions are approved reasons for an intra-district transfer if documented by appropriate medical personnel and if there is documentation that student’s identified needs cannot be met at the home campus.
A student is a victim of a documented physical assault and if the student committing the assault is at the victim’s home campus.
A student is a victim of documented bullying.
When documented and unresolved student conflicts exist that cannot be addressed at the home campus, an intra-district transfer may be approved.
Other extenuating circumstances.

Reasons for Denial

Transfer requests to schools that are almost full or at capacity will not be approved until the fall semester begins. Registration numbers will be reviewed to determine if the transfer of students has created the need for additional teachers to be able to meet the state mandate of the student/teacher ratio. If this has occurred, the student will be assigned to the nearest school in which there is a classroom with fewer students in relation to the limits imposed by state law.

If the student has previously shown disruptive behavior or excessive absences/tardies.
Due to circumstances considered by the school and the district administration as of best interest to the school.
