Per School Board Policy JECC-AR(1), School Attendance – Students who Reside IN the District:  “Any student in attendance at a district school due to bonafide legal residency whose residence changes to a different district attendance area may choose whether to attend the new neighborhood school or the former school.  Students who move during the school year may remain at the former school upon completion of a transfer application.  Students who move during the summer are permitted to stay upon submission of a transfer application.   Once a student enrolls in the school in the attendance area to which the parent or guardians have moved, it becomes the student’s assigned neighborhood school.”

Per School Board Policy JECB-AR(1), Admission of Non-Resident Students Interdistrict Transfers:  A student, attending on an Interdistrict Transfer, whose legal residence changes to a different school district, may continue through the school year, but must submit an Interdistrict Transfer Application. Students who move over the summer are allowed to stay the following school year, but must submit an Interdistrict Transfer Application. Continuation beyond these exceptions requires a new application; priority consideration may be given to students who have siblings currently enrolled or were previously approved as an inter-district transfer student.
