District Transfers

North Wasco County School District may enroll nonresident students as follows:

 

• Inter-district Transfer Agreement:  By written consent of the affected school boards or designees, the student becomes a "resident pupil" of the attending district thereby allowing the attending district to receive State School Fund moneys;

 

• Tuition Paying Student: By admitting a nonresident student with tuition whereby neither affected districts are eligible for State School Fund moneys;

 

• Court Placement:  If a juvenile court determines it is in the student's best interest, a student placed in a substitute care program outside the district may continue to be considered a resident student and allowed to attend the last school the student attended prior to placement.  The public agency placing the student in a substitute care program will be responsible for the transportation of the student, if public agency funds are available.

 

• The Board shall deny regular school admission to nonresident students who are under expulsion from another district for a weapons policy violation.  The Board or designee may, based on district criteria, deny admission to nonresident students who are under expulsion from another district for reasons other than a weapons policy violation.

 

Transfer requests for returning or new students are not guaranteed.  The School Board or designee reserves the right to accept/reject nonresident students based upon the availability of space, resources, personnel and appropriate programs. If the number of students seeking consent exceeds the number of spaces, the Board or designee will use an equitable lottery selection process. 

 

For all approved transfer requests (to attend NWCSD or to be released from NWCSD), transportation to & from the enrolled school is the responsibility of the parent/guardian.

 

Important Information for sports competition/practice for high school students (9th - 12th grade):  To be eligible to participate in any high school athletic program and competition while attending NWCSD, a separate nonresident request must be submitted and approved by OSAA, prior to the first day of the sport’s program.  Please contact the District Athletic Director’s office to start this process at 541-506-3400 ext. 1024.

 

When a student receives a transfer acceptance approval, they will be admitted pursuant to the attending school district’s board policy.  Students will be expected to abide by the attending school district’s code of conduct and attendance standards.  Students who fail to meet expectations may have their transfer revoked, at any time, at the sole discretion of the attending school district’s superintendent or designee.  The decision to revoke the transfer is final and not subject to School Board review.

 

 

Please note:  Oregon school districts may only transfer students within Oregon.  The request for nonresident admission form must be completely filled out and submitted no later than March 31st of each year.  By May 1st, North Wasco County School District shall provide written notification of admission of a nonresident student into the district and students requesting to be released to another School District.  Transportation to and from the attending school is the responsibility of the parent/guardian.

 

 

Request Forms:

• • PLEASE NOTE: For nonresident students (living in another school district in Oregon and requesting to attend NWCSD): Nonresident students must contact and request official release from their resident school district prior to North Wasco County SD approving the student to enroll. Families should contact their resident Superintendent's or District Office for release instructions.
