The board approved revisions to policy FDA(Local) governing interdistrict transfers that add new eligibility categories and an exception allowing the district to revoke a transfer at the end of a grading period if the student fails to meet the transfer agreement criteria.

A student services representative explained the key changes: nonresident district employees working 20+ hours per week (and certain nonresident grandparents) may request admission by application, and an exception was added for nonresident law enforcement employees employed through MOUs. Regarding revocations, the presenter said the revision "would allow us to revoke a transfer, at the end of a grading period if necessary should a student fail to meet the criteria and the requirements in the transfer agreement." Trustees voted to approve the policy revision as presented.
