The administration shall consider available space before responding to a request to attend a school outside the regular attendance area. Transportation will not be provided for outside the regular attendance area requests unless the administration, in consultation with Dousman Transport, determines that busing can be provided at no additional cost to the district.
Once a request to attend a school outside the established attendance boundary is approved, the student shall remain in that elementary school until the parent(s)/guardian(s) requests a transfer or the student moves to the middle school. Parent/guardian requests that result from the Board’s decision to restructure elementary school grade configuration shall be considered outside this policy. Specific guidelines and considerations shall be developed as part of any reconfiguration planning.
The assignment of students and classes to teachers shall be the responsibility of the building principals.
The Board authorizes the Administration to assign students to specific schools to address unique learning needs and/or to balance class size.
