Important Things to Remember

- Space
- Student needs
- Childcare issues
- Extenuating circumstances
- School assignment of the student's siblings
Student transfer approval is not guaranteed and takes 15 to 20 business days to process. The race of an individual student is not used as a factor to grant or deny a student's transfer application.
Students who receive transfer approvals are not guaranteed transportation. They may attend the requested school as long as the transfer has not been revoked by the Office of Student Services. Parents can cancel a transfer by sending an email to the Office of Student Services at jcps.student-transfers@jefferson.kyschools.us
