These transfers must be requested annually. If the student's home school is outside of Cabarrus County Schools District, then a release from the school district where the parent resides must be submitted before the application will be processed.

  • Student Hardship

    Parents may request a Hardship Transfer in very rare cases involving extreme or unusual circumstances that directly affect the student. In such cases, parents or guardians may request reassignment to a school outside of their regular attendance area.  These requests are carefully reviewed and rarely granted. Consideration factors are based on space availability, the needs of the student, the effect on the school to which the transfer is requested, principal recommendations, and the allowable reasons for reassignment/transfer.  It is important to provide supporting information or evidence of extreme or unusual circumstances. If your hardship request is based on a student medical or psychological reason, you will need to submit completed Medical and Mental Health Psychological Hardship Information Form and a Release of Information for Hardship Request Form for School Transfer. Transportation is not provided.

  • Student Hardship Renewals

    All hardship transfers must be renewed annually. Requests for renewed hardship transfers will be forwarded to principals for consideration. Transfer students must have met the conditions for renewal outlined in Policy 4115 listed above. Transportation is not provided.
