Understanding the Intradistrict (campus to campus)Transfer Process - FDB Administrative Regulation(from campus to campus)
Once a student is approved, the expectation is that the student will remain at the requested campus until he/she has completed all grades offered at that campus, unless revoked by receiving campus. Students do not need to reapply annually while attending the requested campus. Students voluntarily leaving a program, e.g,. Dual Language or IB, may not enroll in their home campus until the beginning of the next grading period.
Please note that Pre-K students are not considered to be on transfer because their attendance is based on acceptance to a special program and assignment within that program based on space available. Pre-K students will go to their home campuses for Kindergarten. -
