Student Transfers Transfers are granted to students to move throughout the parish in accordance with the rules and regulations of the transfer policy. Transfers are granted under five different categories:

School Employee Transfers Children of full-time employees may be granted a transfer to the site the employee works. If the appropriate grade level is not available at the employee's site they may be transferred to the closest school geographically where the grade level is available. Student(s) must provide own transportation

Remain After Moving Transfers A student who moves his legal residence during the second semester of school may be granted a transfer to remain in the school he/she has attended for the remainder of that school year. Student(s) must provide own transportation.

Senior Transfers A student who has earned sixteen (16) or more units of credit and completed the previous school year may be granted a senior transfer. Student(s) must provide own transportation.
Health Transfers A transfer may be granted for a student based on medical reasons when such medical reasons are supported by a statement from a qualified physician and subject to the approval of the Medical Review Committee, and with the approval of the Coordinator of Special Support Programs.  Student(s) must provide own transportation.

Administrative Transfers Non-exceptional siblings of gifted/magnet and choice students will be allowed transfers to program sites, but not into the gifted or magnet component. Student(s) must provide own transportation.

WHAT IS SCHOOL CHOICE?

The federal No Child Left Behind Act requires school districts to give students at schools identified for "school improvement" the option of transferring to another school.  All students who are eligible for school choice will receive a letter in the mail.  Only students who attend a school identified by the Louisiana State Department of Education for "school improvement" are eligible for school choice.  These transfers are granted through the Federal Programs, Title I Department.
