THIS APPLICATION IS FOR NEW TRANSFER REQUESTS ONLY!  

TRANSFER REQUESTS ARE NOT BEING ACCEPTED FOR BOILING SPRINGS ELEMENTARY, CHESNEE ELEMENTARY, OAKLAND ELEMENTARY AND RAINBOW LAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL.   THESE SCHOOLS DO NOT HAVE AVAILABLE SPACE FOR OUT-OF-ZONE TRANSFERS AT THIS TIME.  


The Transfer Request window is January 14, 2022 - March 1, 2022 to receive consideration for district approved attendance transfers.  The portal will close at 5pm on March 1, 2022 and no other submissions will be accepted due to staffing decisions that have to be made for the upcoming school year.   If unforeseen circumstances arise, please contact Tabitha Taneyhill,  Office of Student Services,  to determine request process.  

PLEASE NOTE THAT ONE FORM MUST BE SUBMITTED FOR EACH CHILD.   IF YOU ARE REQUESTING FOR MULTIPLE CHILDREN IN YOUR FAMILY/HOUSEHOLD, YOU MUST SUBMIT ONE FORM PER STUDENT.  


Instructions & Information:

Failure to provide all documentation needed to support the transfer will result in a denial. The intent of offering this privilege is to provide assistance to families who have a legitimate and documented hardship that the school and district has the capacity to assist in relieving the hardship through a transfer.

School bus transportation is not available to students on transfers to or from any residence. Parents must provide transportation if approved.

If the transfer request is granted, students in middle or high school may not be eligible to participate in athletics. No student will be eligible to participate in the same sport in different schools during the same season. South Carolina High School League regulations will determine eligibility.

All documentation must be included to support your claim for hardship. If childcare is the need, you must provide documentation why childcare is needed. If it is work due to your work schedule, provide your employer name and your work hours for verification.

Only one child’s name on each request.
       
Transfers will not be considered based on desire to participate in extra or co-curricular activities at the requested school. A change in high school enrollment will affect eligibility to participate in interscholastic activities.

Requests for specific schools shall not be approved if projected or actual enrollment numbers are at capacity*.  

To further control enrollment numbers and staffing expenditures in elementary schools, capacity is refined and reviewed at each grade level, based upon staffing provided and students already enrolled. The Office of Student Services shall notify students/ parent/ guardians who are currently approved to attend out of attendance area if there will not be room for the student in the next school year.

*Capacity is defined as the number of students that can be served by the school.


The following provisions apply to requests for change in school assignments:

1. Approvals or placements may be revoked or denied if the receiving school is over capacity. Out-of-area placements shall be granted only when placement does not cause overcrowding at the receiving school and does not require additional staff, in keeping with this policy.
2. The Principal shall evaluate whether students who have been granted out-of-area assignments are in compliance with specified conditions, including regular daily attendance, acceptable behavior and adequate academic progress. Failure to do so may result in an immediate  transfer to the assigned attendance area school, with the Director's approval.
3. Transportation for any approved out-of-area request shall be the responsibility of the parent/guardian.


Continuing Students

When the District approves an Out-of-Area transfer student, the parent/guardian does not need to re-apply each year for Out-of-Area approval unless the receiving school reaches capacity. If enrollment numbers reach capacity, the District Office of Student Services will notify parents/guardians. Students approved for an out-of-area placement must demonstrate acceptable behavior (no out of school suspensions), make academic progress, and be in regular attendance. Principals, in consultation with their school director, may recommend students who do not maintain these conditions be returned to their attendance area schools. Student Services shall review academic, behavior and attendance data for all students whose placements are recommended for revocation. The Director shall make final determination on revocation of placements.
 

Appeal Process

Parents/guardians who believe their request falls within the criteria for placement or procedure was not followed can submit an appeal (form will be attached to denial decision letter) to the Office of Student Services within 7 days of receiving their notice. If extraordinary circumstances exist, appeal of the committee’s decision may be submitted in writing to the Superintendent whose decision shall be final.
