STUDENT TRANSFER AND WITHDRAWAL
TRANSFER
Students are assigned to attend the school in the attendance area in which their residence is located. They may attend a school other than the one designated for their attendance zone; however, their parents must provide the necessary transportation.
Polk Elementary is declared a neutral zone, therefore, only students living on Fort Polk Reservation are eligible to attend Polk Elementary. Students living on the reservation, may, however, attend the school of their choice.
Students who have not had a change of residence during the school year may not transfer to more than one (1) school during the school year. Exceptions may be granted through application by the parent/guardian to a committee composed of the Supervisor of Child Welfare and Attendance and the two (2) principals of the schools affected by said transfer.
WITHDRAWAL
Students shall be required to attend school in accordance with statutory provisions. Students may be permitted to withdraw from school however, if approved by the Superintendent and School Board. Such withdrawal must be in accordance with such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the School Board.
