3130 - Attendance Zones Policy

Policy 3130

Procedure 3130P

STUDENTS

Attendance Zones

The board of directors shall periodically review the geographic attendance areas designated for each school in the district.  As population and enrollment shift within the district, changes in attendance areas or transfer of students may become necessary. 

Students shall attend the school designated for their respective residential areas unless individual requests for transfers by the parent(s) or guardian(s) have been approved according to district policy and procedure #3131.

The superintendent will develop procedures establishing the factors to be considered when the district develops attendance area boundaries.

The district reserves the right to base final decisions on the needs of all schools in the district.  When enrollments in an attendance area exceed class size guidelines, students may be required to attend a school in another attendance area.
