Policy 2245 – Transfer Students
All students entering the District from other educational settings are required to submit evidence
of their achievement in the last grade attended. Grade placement of a student may be adjusted
on the basis of examination of the student’s previous record, achievement tests administered, or
other factors that the principal and staff believe are appropriate under the circumstances. A
transcript of all entering secondary school students is required before enrollment can be
completed. However, a student may be permitted to enroll temporarily until a full transcript is
obtained.
Transfers from Unaccredited Schools
Parents/guardians should be advised that if they choose to transfer their student to the public school
from an unaccredited school, the student will not be guaranteed comparable placement in the public
schools. Students transferring will be assigned an appropriate grade level and class assignment based
on their educational and developmental level as determined by the principal through assessment of
student’s age, educational experience, achievement tests and consultation with parent/guardian and
personnel from the student’s former school.
Intradistrict Transfers
The Superintendent may authorize the transfer of a student from one District school to another.
Reasons for the transfer may include, but are not limited to:
- Welfare of the student
- Disciplinary concerns
- Curriculum offerings
- Special education placement
- Parent/guardian custody
- Relocation of residence
- Student of a District employee
- Transportation
The request for transfer may be initiated by the building principal and/or the parent/guardian. The
request shall outline the reasons for the transfer, the positive and negative impact upon the student,
and any differences of opinion about the transfer. A request for a student transfer will be submitted to
the Superintendent.
