STUDENT TRANSFER AND WITHDRAWAL

 

 

TRANSFER

 

Students shall be required to attend the school in the attendance area in which their residence is located.  Students who wish to attend a school other than the one designated for their attendance zone of residence may apply for transfer when circumstances warrant.  All transfer requests must be in writing and submitted to the Superintendent prior to the beginning of the school year.  New enrollees may submit a transfer request during the school year at the time of their initial enrollment in Richland Parish.  This transfer is for a one year period.

 

The School Board shall not grant any student transfers except for the following:

 

  1. Transfers justified by special circumstances (e.g. health or safety reasons.)

  2. Transfers for any student who requires a course of study that is offered in one attendance zone and which is not offered at the school which the student has been assigned.  The student may transfer to the appropriate school upon request and approval of the School Board.

 

When a student transfers to another school within the district, the following procedures shall be followed:

 

  1. The original copy of the student's records or folder shall be transferred to the receiving school by the principal.

  2. A copy of the student's transcript shall be kept in the principal's office of the school being transferred from.  The date of the transfer shall be recorded on the transcript.

 

Acknowledgment forms for receipt of students' records will be used by all principals.

 

WITHDRAWAL

 

Students shall be required to attend school in accordance with statutory provisions.  Students may be permitted to withdraw from school however, if approved by the Superintendent and the School Board.
