Approval of an Interdistrict Transfer

Once an Interdistrict Transfer has been approved, the student may continue to attend the school of enrollment without reapplying on a yearly basis.  Students will be required to reapply when matriculating to middle school/high school.

Central School District may approve Interdistrict Transfers for the following reasons:

• To meet the childcare needs of the student, only as long as the student’s childcare provider remains within district boundaries.  The name, address, and phone number of the childcare/agency provider must be listed on the Interdistrict Attendance Permit.

• To meet the student’s special mental or physical health needs.

  Verification must be provided by a licensed physician or clinical psychologist.

• To keep siblings together in the same district.

  Verification that the sibling attends school in the desired district needs to be provided.

• To allow the student to complete a school year when the student’s parents/guardians have moved or are planning to move out of our district.  This also applies to families who plan to, but haven’t yet, moved into the district and would like their student(s) to start the school year in our district. 
  Verification of escrow paperwork or similar document (90-day limit) must be provided.

• Other:  Central School District reserves the right to contact you for other documentation to support a request listed in the “Other” category on the Application for Interdistrict Attendance Permit.

 Once your student has been released from your resident district, please send a copy of the following documents to the Central School District Student and Family Engagement Office:
