Once a school has been identified as a transfer option school, it can return to safe status by (1) completing Steps One through Four above and (2) completing two consecutive years with less than one percent (1%) of the student population or five (5) students (whichever is greater) expelled for violent criminal offenses as defined in its policy.
Receiving school: If a homeless student is transferring without the proper transfer or withdrawal form from the previous school, enroll the student and call the former school for transfer and/or withdrawal information.
Sending school: Give requested information by telephone and forward records for the homeless student within 15 days. Complete necessary forms to place student on transfer or withdrawal status at your school.
