  • Acceptance or denial of the interdistrict permit is determined by the availability of space at the requested school.
  • If the interdistrict transfer request is denied, you are expected to enroll the student in his/her school of residence. 
  • Interdistrict transfers may be revoked for the following reasons: (1) student is habitually late, tardy or absent (2) student is in an unsupervised situation early in the morning or late in the afternoon on or about a school campus or (3) student leaves the district or drops from requested school. 
  • If the interdistrict transfer is approved, your child (unless revoked by the district) is committing to a year at the approved school and will not be able to return to his/her home school until the following year. 
  • If your child is on an interdistrict transfer due to your home school being at full capacity, your student has first priority to request to return to his/her home school if space is available the following school year.
