Code No. 501.06
STUDENT TRANSFERS IN
Students who transfer into the school district must meet the immunization and age requirements set out for students who initially enroll in the school district.
The student must provide the school district with proof of grade level and a copy of the student's permanent records from the student's prior school district. If the student does not present the student's cumulative records, the school district shall request the student's cumulative records from the previous school district and shall notify the student's parents that the school district has requested the records.
If the student cannot offer proof of grade level, the superintendent will make the grade level determination. The superintendent may require testing or other information to determine the grade level.
The superintendent shall determine the amount of credits to be transferred. If the student has not previously attended an accredited school, it is within the superintendent's discretion to accept or reject credits or grades.
The board may deny admission if the student is not willing to provide the board with the necessary information.
