  • Student Needs. Special education services, 504 supports, or unique student needs may be reviewed to ensure appropriate services can be provided at the requested school.
  • Enrollment Balance. The district  must maintain adequate enrollment and staffing at all schools.

Families will be notified of the status of their intra-district transfer via email by May 30, 2026.
