Student Transfers INTO Lincoln County School District

The Lincoln County School District enables students who live in another school district and wish to attend a school in the Lincoln County School District an opportunity to do so, but must be approved by the Principal and the School Board. A transfer request must be completed and submitted each year for each student.

The request process requires the following documentation before your child can be enrolled in the Lincoln County School District:

  1. a release from the home District
  2. a completed/signed Request for Transfer In form
  3. approval by the receiving LCSD Principal
  4. approval by the LCSD Board of Trustees

Please allow a minimum two (2) months for the request to be voted on by both the releasing District and the receiving District.  Once the request has been reviewed/voted on by the LCSD Board of Trustees, the parent/guardian will receive notification of the decision.

Non-Refundable Tuition will be $600 per student per year, to be paid by the first day of school.  For more information, please visit Tuition Fee for Transfers.

If you wish for your child to be considered for a transfer into LCSD, please submit the proper paperwork preferably by March 31 for the school year to follow.

  1. a completed/signed Request for Transfer Within form
