District explains transfer deadline and lottery system for out-of-zone requests
Summary
District staff said the first transfer round deadline is May 31; transfer requests are reviewed after school ends and allocations depend on building caps, with a lottery used when demand exceeds space.
A district staffer (S8) explained how transfer applications are processed and when families will be notified. "The 1st go round is May 31," S8 said, adding that completed forms must be submitted by that date and the district reviews them after school ends, then emails parents with approvals or wait-list placements.
S8 described the process for determining how many transfers can be accepted based on student caps and said the district uses a lottery system to place students if demand exceeds space. Board members asked about the timing of notification and whether the district honors sign-up order; staff confirmed a lottery and an administrative draw are used rather than strictly first-come order.
