A resident student who becomes a nonresident during the course of a semester shall immediately fill out a transfer application and be accepted as a transfer student to continue in attendance.
A nonresident student wishing to transfer into the District shall file an application for transfer each school year with the Superintendent. Transfers shall be granted for one regular school year at a time.
In approving transfers, the Superintendent shall consider availability of space and instructional staff. The Superintendent shall not consider and the student’s academic performance, disciplinary history, or and attendance records when approving transfer requests.
