Additionally, families who move to the Hall County School District during the current school year should enroll in their zoned school, and complete the HB 251 Transfer Application to request a transfer to a school with available space.
To submit an in-district transfer request for this school year, please follow the steps outlined above.
Please know that if you choose to transfer your child to another school in the district, the law requires parents/guardians to assume all costs and responsibilities related to the transportation of a child to and from the school as long as the child remains at that school.
Additional In-District (Magnet and HB 251) Transfer Information
As a parent or guardian, you can request to have your child transferred to another public school within the school district as long as the district has determined that there is available classroom space at the school you requested. If you choose to transfer your child to another school in the district, the law requires you to assume all costs and responsibilities related to the transportation of your child to and from the school.
If a parent requests a transfer to a school that does not have the services required by the current Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or Individualized Accommodation Plan (IAP), HB 251 does not require the school to develop those services as long as they are available within the local school system. Students who transfer under HB 251 are subject to GHSA eligibility requirements.
In the event a particular school has available space and the number of transfer requests exceeds the remaining available capacity, transfer requests will be reviewed and approved or denied based on a lottery. Once available classroom space is reached at a school, no more transfers will be accepted at that school.
