If You Want to Transfer Your Child under NCLB, Get that Request In
I was reading the Spokane newspaper and it was stated that for Spokane's school district, the deadline to request a transfer to a new school under NCLB is August 26th. So I wrote to SPS to ask what their deadline is. Here's the answer I received: Parents have to request a transfer by the first day of school by 4 pm. They will then be sent an application with their PSC options. That PSC is " Public School Options " and here is the form you must submit to ask for it. Understand, this form I'm linking is a request for the PSC form, NOT the actual form. Note - only via mail or fax (which seems not-so-helpful); I would suppose you could also submit it in person. Transportation would be provided but: - your new school may not have services your old school did and the district does not have to provide them - transportation would end if that new school did not meet AYP (annual yearly progress) under NCLB For more information about Public School Choic...
