Voluntary Transfer

Voluntary Transfer – Neighborhood Schools

• Neighborhood Schools have been at the center of conversations

about determination of Attendance Areas

• Neighborhoods were self-defined in the last round of the Attendance

Area Development process

• Walkability has been at the center of conversations about

neighborhoods and determination of Attendance Areas

• Walkability has focused on 1- and 2-mile driving radii from

neighborhood schools

Voluntary Transfer – Current Practices

• Voluntary Transfers are requests from parents for their student(s) to

attend a school other than their designated neighborhood school

• Please be aware that Voluntary Transfer differs from Open Enrollment
• Open Enrollment is the process by which parents/guardians residing

in an Iowa district may enroll their children into another Iowa school district under the terms and conditions of Iowa Code section 282.18 and 281--Iowa Administrative Code 17

Voluntary Transfer – Current Practices

• Elementary (Grades K-6) Voluntary School Transfer Information
• Transfer request are required at the elementary level on an annual basis
• Students do not have an automatic guarantee to keep the transfer beyond one year.
• Students who are provided transfers into an elementary school are NOT guaranteed any

subsequent junior high transfers.

• Transfers approved prior to the 2014-15 school year and for the 2014-15 school year do

not require annual application.

• On December 10, 2015 the No Child Left Behind Act was replaced with the Every Student

Succeeds Act.

• School districts are no longer required to allow new Schools In Need of Assistance (SINA)

transfers.

• Students currently on a SINA transfer will be allowed to continue attending their designated

school through 6th grade.

Voluntary Transfer – Current Practices

• Elementary (Grades K-6) Voluntary School Transfer Information
• The deadline for submitting elementary transfer requests for the following school

year is July 1st.

• Determinations will be made after that time.
• Transfers will be processed as received after July 1st on a first come, first serve basis and

approval will be based on space available.

• Transfers will be granted based on class sizes remaining within board-established

class size parameters.

• A student who is not granted a voluntary transfer will be placed on a waiting list

through mid-September. If classroom space becomes available, families will be contacted to determine if they wish to accept the space.

• If a voluntary transfer is requested after the start of the school year due to a change
• f address, the transfer will only be valid through the remainder of the current

school year.

preference in the transfer process.

9/25/2018 6

Voluntary Transfer – Current Practices

• All Voluntary Transfers Are Subject to Cancellation Upon
• Changes to boundaries/attendance areas

• Verification that transfer request information provided was inaccurate or

incomplete

• Failure of the student to maintain adequate attendance and/or behavior

patterns

• Change in student transportation needs

Voluntary Transfer – Current Practices

• Students Receiving Special Services
• If a student is placed at a school that is not their designated home attendance

area school due to Special Education, English Language Learner (ELL) programs, or for 504 Plan purposes, their siblings may also attend that placement school.

• Once the placed student is no longer assigned to the attendance center for the above

special services, all family members must return to their home school.

• When a student receiving Special Education services or student receiving

services under a Section 504 Plan transfers schools, the building principal/designee will call a meeting of an Individualized Education Program(IEP) team or 504 building level team, and, in consultation with parents, review the student’s IEP or Section 504 Plan prior to enrollment at the beginning of a new school year or within 5 days of enrollment if the school year has already begun.
