SCHOOL TRANSFER OPTIONS | Policy Manual

5113.02 - SCHOOL TRANSFER OPTIONS

Students attending a "persistently dangerous" school, as defined by State law have the right to transfer to another "safe" school in the Corporation. If there is not another "safe" school in the Corporation providing instruction at the students’ grade level(s), the Superintendent must contact neighboring corporations and request that they permit students to transfer to a school in one (1) of those corporations.

Furthermore, a student who is a victim of a "violent crime" on school property also has the right to transfer to another school. If there is not another school in the Corporation providing instruction at the student’s grade level, the Superintendent shall contact neighboring corporations and request that they permit that student to transfer to a school in one of those corporations providing instruction at the student’s grade level.

The School Board authorizes such transfers in accordance with AG 5113.02.

Children who transfer in accordance with this policy will be permitted to remain at the school of transfer until completing the highest grade at the school.
