Assignment of Students to Schools**
Students will attend the school in the attendance area in which they reside, unless as otherwise provided by state and federal law.
When a student moves into another attendance area, he/she may remain at the former school until the end of the current report card period. At the end of that period the student must transfer to the school which serves the attendance area of his/her new residence.
In special cases, permission may be granted to allow the student to remain in his/her former school until the end of the semester. In all such cases, parents must provide transportation.
A student who becomes a victim of a violent criminal offense while in or on the grounds of a school the student attends, or any student attending a district school that is identified by the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) as persistently dangerous, may as required by Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (EESA), transfer to a safe district school as defined by law.
Additionally, as provided by Oregon Revise Statute (ORS) 329.485, the district may allow a student who has not met or has exceeded all of the academic content standards to attend another district school outside the student’s attendance area.
In the event of an attendance change not required by ESSA or other state law, parents shall take the responsibility of providing transportation. Students transferring schools pursuant to the provisions of ESSA will be provided with district transportation.
Notice to parents of their right to request the transfer of their student as provided by this policy will be provided as required by law.
