File:  JFAB - Continuing Enrollment of Students Who Become Nonresidents

Resident elementary students who become nonresidents

Students enrolled in elementary school who become nonresidents during or between school years may remain enrolled in or re-enroll in the elementary school subject to the following requirements:

1.  The student was included in the district's most recent pupil enrollment count and has been enrolled continuously in elementary school since the count was taken.

2.  The parent/guardian has submitted a written request to the principal asking for the student to remain enrolled or to re-enroll in the school.

3.  The request has been approved by the principal after a determination that space exists in the school to accommodate the student.

Once the elementary student's request is approved, the student may enroll or re-enroll in the requested school as long as he or she enrolls prior to the pupil enrollment count date.  The district shall enter into a written agreement with the student's district of residence.  However, this agreement will not contain any requirement that the district of residence or the parent/guardian pay tuition nor shall either district be required to provide transportation.

Resident secondary students who become nonresidents

Secondary students who become nonresidents during the school year may remain enrolled through the semester at the student's current school.  Students enrolled in the twelfth grade may finish the school year at the current school.
