Franklin Public Schools Board of Education directives are to assign all students to their home schools based on the established elementary school boundaries to ensure student enrollment balance within the elementary schools. Board Policy 5000, ag 5120.

Parents must request that their child attend a school other than the one in their attendance area. To request this change they must complete a Student Transfer Request Form. If granted, the approval is valid for only one year and the parent must reapply each year thereafter. There is no guarantee the approval will be continued in future years. If the family receives approval, it is the district’s expectation that the parent will transport their student to/from school in a timely manner or the district exception will be reversed.

The following is criteria that a move would be allowed:

Family Move: When families relocate from one elementary school attendance area to another (within the district) during the school year, the children affected may continue their education at their original school for the remainder of the school year. The following school year, students will be expected to attend the school in their attendance area, with the exception of grades 4 and 5. Any children enrolled in grade 4 or grade 5 may continue their education at their original school through the end of grade 5.

Please note: 

• Families are required to notify the district within 5 days of a residential move
• The above criteria refers to moves that occur DURING the school year, not BEFORE
• If a Student Transfer is approved, it is the parents responsibility to get them to and from school.
• 4K Wraparound Care and Before/After school care does not qualify for a student transfer
