5112 School of Choice - Intra-District


The Moffat County Board of Education endorses the neighborhood school concept and encourages students to attend the school located within the attendance area of their residence. The board of education recognizes, however, that students may wish to attend a school or program located in an area other than their school of regular assignment. Flexibility shall be allowed in school attendance area boundaries to allow students to attend any school or program of his/her choice on a space available, first-come, first-served basis.

Students within a designated attendance area shall have priority in registering in that school. Students may apply for transfer to a school outside their normal attendance area and such applications will be approved if there is space available in the requested school as determined by class size and program limitations. Deadline for application will be October 1 of each school year. This class size limitation shall be met when enrollment reaches one less per classroom than the district policy. A waiting list will be developed every year. Students who elect to attend a school outside of their original attendance area shall be required to provide their own transportation.

Transfer students attending a school outside their designated attendance area as determined by legal residence of parents or guardians shall be granted admission on a year to year basis. In the event the population of the attendance area increases to fill the space available with attendance area residents, transfer students may be asked to enroll in another school.

The Board of Education shall approve attendance boundaries for each elementary school.

Requests from special education students requesting transfer to another school or program shall be considered in accordance with applicable state and federal law.
