Consideration of External Student Enrollment
- Applications must be submitted between January 1st - March 31st to be considered for the upcoming school year.
- Students must demonstrate that they are in “good standing” in their current school. Records reviewed include academics, discipline and attendance.
- Only schools with space and program availability (currently at less than 75% capacity for both areas) will be considered for external transfers. The district will reevaluate this threshold annually.
- The parent/guardian of the child must agree to annually pay tuition at the rate established by the Franklin County Board of Education, which is the amount of local per pupil funding allocated by the Franklin County Board of Commissioners. This amount is approved annually and is subject to change.
- The external transfer can be revoked at any time that a student is no longer in “good standing” or tuition has not been paid in a timely manner.
- The parent must complete the transfer application process annually.
