If the student’s parents wish to withdraw or transfer the student from school prior to completing and graduating from the educational program, they shall notify the administration in writing as soon as possible of the decision to withdraw or transfer the student from the educational program. The pupil should present this written notice at the office and receive instructions regarding the return of textbooks, library books, locker equipment, hot lunch tickets, etc. No clearance slip will be issued or refunds made until all fees or fines have been paid.
The parent’s notice shall state the student’s final day of attendance. If the student is not enrolling in another school district, the school district shall maintain the student’s records in the same manner as the records of students who have graduated from the school district.
If the student wishes to have the student’s cumulative record sent to the new school district, the student or the parents shall notify the administration. This notice shall include the name of the school district and the person at the new school district to whom the student’s cumulative records should be sent.
The means of transferring student’s cumulative record will be the decision of the local school district.
