General administrative transfers are granted based upon space availability. If the number of applications for a given school exceeds the number of available spaces, a random lottery will be conducted to provide each interested student with an equal opportunity to be admitted. Applications must be submitted in person. Applications will be assigned a lottery identification number which will be used to randomly select approvals for transfers should the number of applicants surpass the number of available seats at a particular school.

Transportation:   

Transportation under this public school choice option is the responsibility of the parent.

Duration:

A general administrative transfer is valid through the highest grade of the school for which the transfer is approved.  A transfer does not grant students the right to attend the next school in the feeder pattern. The granting of a transfer for one child under school choice does not ensure approval of siblings for current or future school years.
