My child currently attends a school in the district, but I would like my child to attend another school outside my attendance area through an intra-district transfer.
Our Board policy does not allow intra-district transfers unless there is room (capacity) at another school. Capacity is determined for each school based on factors including current student enrollment, school building size, and provision of allowable space for move-in students within the attendance area. Intra-district transfer requests must be made beginning April 1 and turned in by the first business day in May for the following school year. Requests for buildings that have capacity will be considered, with acceptance or denial delivered in writing on or before June 15. Requests for intra-district transfer for schools without capacity will be denied.

My child currently attends a school in the district (in grades K-8) but we are moving to another attendance area within the District. Can my child remain at the current school?
Yes, for the remainder of the semester which the move occurred. We understand that a move during the semester can be difficult for students so they may remain at their current school until the semester ends. Transportation will be the responsibility of the parent or guardian. Please complete the Request for Student to Remain in School Where Student Currently Attends which can be found here. Please note that if you move in the first semester, your child will be approved to remain for the first semester only, not the entire year. If you have questions, contact the Enrollment Center at 614-760-6000.

I am the biological father of a child and want to enroll him/her in school but the biological mother and I were never married. What do I need to do?
In the State of Ohio, when parents were not married at the time of birth, the mother is designated the sole residential parent and legal custodian unless a court order has been issued. A father must initiate a custody action in the courts to obtain custody to be named school placement parent for purposes of enrollment. Please contact the Franklin County Clerk of Courts, 373 S. High St. 4th Fl. at 614-525-4411.
