All transfer requests will require the approval of the director of student services.

Students who are new to Lincoln Public Schools must complete online enrollment for the school of their designated enrollment area before a transfer will be considered. New to Lincoln Public School students are expected to attend their assigned school until they have been notified the request has been granted, and a start date has been provided by the approved school.

Current students are expected to attend the school where they are enrolled until they have been notified their request has been granted, and a start date has been provided by the approved school.

Approved transfer requests are expected to remain in effect for an entire school year. (Important Information Booklet)

Parents or guardians bear full responsibility for transportation of students in cases when a special permit has been approved. (Policy 5121)

A special attendance permit, once approved, remains in effect as long as the student is living at the address listed on the application and is enrolled in that school. The permit may be revoked if the student’s attendance is unsatisfactory. The Department of Student Services may further revoke a permit for reason of such misconduct or if it is judged to be in the child’s best interest. (Policy 5121)

When transfer requests are filed within the established deadline and are denied, appeals are permitted. Appeals must be made in writing within 14 days after the applicant’s receipt of a written notice of denial. (Policy 5121)

Address changes and contact information must be updated with the registrar of the school where the student is currently enrolled before a permit will be processed.

Notification of the transfer request decision will be sent to the email on file in our system.
