Intra-District Transfer Request (residents only)
Kindergarten - 8th grade ONLY
Students enrolled in the Reynoldsburg City School District are assigned to the school or special education program serving their designated attendance area. Parents who wish to have their child/children attend a different school may request an intra-district transfer. Application requests must be made annually. The following guidelines are in place to clarify the procedures and criteria necessary to facilitate the processing of an intra-district transfer.
Application Procedures:
Applications for intra-district transfers request forms must be completed only by the parent/legal guardian of the child and returned to the Welcome Center either in-person, by fax (614) 501-1049 or email at [email protected] Intra-district transfer requests will then be submitted to the Superintendent of Schools or designee.
Approval or non-approval of requests will be decided by the Superintendent or designee.
Criteria for Intra-District Transfer
* A transfer request is subject to space availability in the school that the parent is requesting for the child. Space availability is determined by school enrollment information regarding class size, grade level, total building capacity and caseloads. Staffing levels of the requested schools will not be changed for the purpose of specifically accommodating transfer requests. The district reserves the right to add or reduce grade level sections as necessary.
* An intra-district transfer will also be considered in the order in which the form is received.
* Siblings of students in the District, assigned to another building because of Special Education placement, will be given special consideration.
* A student who has been suspended or expelled from school for ten days, in the current or immediately preceding semester, may be denied an intra-district transfer.
* PARENTS / LEGAL GUARDIANS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TRANSPORTATION. This includes daily, on-time drop-off and pick-up in accordance with the school's bell schedule.
Administration of Intra-District Transfers
* Intra-district transfer requests may not be made once the school year has begun.
* Transfer requests are for one school year only.
* Approval for an intra-district transfer for one school year does not guarantee approval in subsequent years.
* Residents of the attendance area of a school will be given priority over intra-district transfers.
* An elementary intra-district transfer request will not be granted if the request is to a school in which the requested grade level has a higher student/teacher ratio than the student's assigned school.
* Students who have been granted an intra-district transfer will remain in their requested school for the entire school year.
* Families moving between boundaries during the school year may apply for the student(s) to remain in their current school for the remainder of the school year. All intra-district criteria and guidelines apply.
