Intradistrict Building Transfer
Pickerington students attend school on a neighborhood-school basis. That is, their “home school” is the one in the attendance area in which they are assigned as determined by school boundaries and approved by the Board of Education.
However, board policy allows that, in conjunction with state law, students be given the opportunity to attend a school within the district other than the one to which they would regularly be assigned. Students who live in the assigned attendance area or are otherwise assigned to a building by the district administration get first preference over students requesting an intradistrict transfer.
Second preference will be given to students who do not currently live in the assigned attendance area but were previously enrolled in a school building.
It is possible for parents to request to have their children be considered to transfer to a different school than the one he or she typically would attend based on location of residence. If approved, transportation to the new school is the responsibility of the parent. Parents of children in grades K-6 must submit a request each year. Parents of children in grades 7-12 are only required to apply once.
Details about intradistrict building transfer are provided through Board Policy 5113.01 and 5113.01 AG and on the 2020-21 intradistrict transfer request form (PDF) | intradistrict transfer request form (RTF).
