Vernonia board sets student transfer limit at three per grade for 2025–26
Summary
The Vernonia SD 47J board voted to cap interdistrict student transfers at three students per grade for the 2025–26 school year, with flexibility to adjust if more applicants arrive. Board members said the per-grade approach provides manageable flexibility.
The Vernonia SD 47J Board of Education approved a limit of three interdistrict student transfers per grade for the 2025–26 school year. Greg moved to set the limit "to 3 students per grade for the 25, 26 year as discussed," and the motion carried after a second and no opposition from the board.
Board members said the per-grade approach is more practical than a single district-wide number and allows the district to adjust if larger-than-expected numbers of transfer requests are received. The superintendent noted the rule provides flexibility "if we get 4 or 5 students per grade level transferred in the district, we'll adjust because we want as many kids as we possibly can get."
