Space-Available In-District Transfer

Update: February 15, 2013

Ann Arbor Public School District

Application for the 2013/2014 School Year

For Students Residing Within the Ann Arbor Public Schools Attendance Boundaries

 

The Ann Arbor Board of Education has approved a Space-Available In-District Transfer policy that allows for a permanent reassignment of in-district students from one school to another.  Under the Space-Available In-District Transfer policy, families that live within the Ann Arbor Public School district may apply for a transfer from their assigned school (as defined by the Ann Arbor Public School Street Index) to one of the identified space-available schools. Families of students who receive these transfers are officially assigned to the requested school instead of their original school.  If the transfer request is granted, students can stay for all grades offered at that school. 

 

Note: Transportation to and from school is the responsibility of the participating parent/guardian.  The ability of the family to transport students to arrive on time for daily instruction is an important consideration when applying for a Space-Available Transfer.

 

APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED FEBRUARY 5 – MARCH 8, 2013

Parents will be notified of the status of their application request by mid April 2013
