When to use this form
When you need permission for a student to attend a public school outside your home district, use this form before enrolling. It helps families who moved across district lines mid-year, seek a magnet or language program not offered locally, face safety or hardship issues, or live near a boundary and need a better fit. District staff use it to check capacity, residency, and transportation and to document approvals. If your request is approved, complete the School registration form at the new campus and submit a Student profile form for contacts and services. If the student is leaving the current campus, file a Withdrawal form. Data teams can update records with the Student data base form.
Must Ask Out of District Transfer Application Questions
- What is the student's current school and home district?
This confirms the home district and triggers the records transfer you will need. It also helps staff check boundary rules and available space.
- What is the primary reason for your request?
It shows why you are applying (move, program, safety, childcare, hardship). Clear reasons help staff apply policy and request the right proof.
- Which receiving school, grade level, and desired start date are you requesting?
These details let the receiving school confirm seat availability and plan staffing. A target start date helps you avoid gaps in attendance.
- Does the student have an IEP, 504 plan, English learner services, or other supports?
Knowing services up front ensures the new school can meet legal and learning needs. It speeds coordination so your student does not lose support.
- Who will be responsible for transportation, and do you need district bus service?
Transportation is often a condition of approval. Stating who is responsible sets expectations and helps plan routes or confirm that you will drive.
