Thank you for visiting our website to learn more about our student transfer policy. We appreciate your interest in Cleora Public School, "Where Learning Is #1". We do our best to welcome additional students to our district whenever it is possible.
Cleora School makes decisions about student transfers in accordance with district policy and state law. You can download our comprehensive district policies below; however, we are providing the following information for your convenience:
The state Department of Education requires that the following form be completed to apply for a transfer: [Application]. Parents who need access to technology to complete the form can visit our main office.
Decisions about transfers for the upcoming school year will be made no later than August 18th each year. We will contact parents directly about the approval status of their child’s transfer.
Mid-year transfer requests will be considered within a certain number of days (TBD) of the district receiving the application.
New transfers are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Students who attended the district on a transfer during the previous school year may be automatically accepted pending approval from the district. The law also gives preference to children of active-duty military personnel.
To accept a transfer, enrollment in the grade the parent requests must be under the district-established capacity. The district’s capacity and vacancy numbers for each grade and school can be found below.
Transfers may be denied based on capacity, attendance and discipline issues.
Transfers for siblings must be considered separately.
If the grade a student requests is over capacity, he/she will be offered the opportunity to be placed on a waiting list.
Transfer students must abide by eligibility requirements established by the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association (OSSAA) for OSSAA-sanctioned activities.
Transfer denial decisions may be appealed by the parent or legal guardian of the student within ten (10) days of notification of denial to the board of education. The board of education shall consider the appeal at its next regularly scheduled board meeting if notice is provided prior to the statutory deadline for posting the agenda for the meeting. If the board of education votes to uphold the denial of the transfer, the parent or legal guardian may appeal the denial within ten (10) days of the notification of the appeal denial to the State Board of Education. The parent or legal guardian shall submit to the State Board of Education and to the superintendent of the district, a notice of appeal on the form prescribed by the State Board of Education.
