Transfers

The first day to turn in an application for transfers is April 15, 2009.

Transfers are considered based on available space and class size. However, other circumstances may influence the denial of a transfer request.  K-12 Transfer Application forms are available at The Office of Student, Family & Community Services (SFCS).  The application will not be accepted unless all transfer requirements are met.

The first date to submit school transfer is Apr. 15, 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Transfers must be submitted by Jun. 15 for the fall semester and by Dec.1 for the spring semester.  Students shall be permitted a transfer no more than once per school year, unless they wish to return to their attendance zone school ("home campus").  Transfers are not granted or accepted outside the deadline dates.

Transfers will have to meet the following criteria for approval:

1. Not have been suspended, placed in the disciplinary alternative education program (DAEP), or expelled during the semester in which the transfer is requested;
2. Not have failed any courses in the semester of petition; and
3. Have met the 90 percent compulsory attendance rate requirement.

Students new to the District shall attend the school serving the attendance zone in which the student's parent, guardian, or person having legal control over the student resides and can apply for a regular transfer only during the transfer period.

The District does not provide transportation to transfer students
Transfers are approved for the remaining time period in which the student is enrolled in that building. When the student is promoted to middle/high school, the transfer ends, and the student must enroll in the secondary school in the attendance zone in which he/she resides.

The principal will establish standards for behavior and for the frequency of tardies/absences to occur.  Should the transfer student violate the standards, the principal has the authority to revoke the transfer and send the student to the school serving the attendance zone in which student's parent(s), guardian or person having legal control over the student resides.  (Board Policy FDB Local)

The District has the right to revoke the transfer of a transfer student for violating the Student Code of Conduct.

A person wanting to remain at the original "home campus" after moving to another location within the district should request a "Request to Remain" form, which is available at SFCS. Proof of residence is required for the new residence.
