A parent may request an out of area exception for their child to attend a school other than their home attendance area school. The principal may accept or decline the request as allowed by Board Policy 5116.
If a student requires special transportation on their IEP, transportation will only be provided to their area school, and not to a school the child is attending on an out-of-area exception. Exceptions to this are sometimes made if the child’s pickup and drop – off are in the boundary of the school that the child wants to attend. For instance, if parents request an out – of – area exception to a school due to their day care location and the out of area exception is accepted, special transportation may be provided to day care if the day care is within the school’s boundaries, and the student is eligible for transportation per the IEP.
