Good afternoon,
We would like to make our parents aware of our new procedure regarding any new requests for a student to transfer out of the Lincoln County School District. Any student currently transferring out (approved in the 2022-23 school year) of Lincoln County School District may continue to do so following their yearly request and approval by both districts. Requests should be made prior to March 31st each year.
Lincoln County School District will not approve any new transfer out requests except as provided by law beginning in the 2023-24 school year.
A transfer out is a student who resides in Lincoln County School District (Bogue Chitto, Enterprise, Loyd Star, or West Lincoln) and wishes to attend another school district.
Examples:
-
A student (k-12) that transferred out of Lincoln County School District during the 2022-23 school year, will still be allowed to transfer out (for the 2023-24 school year) by the mutual consent of both districts concerned.
-
Any student who resides (currently or moves into) in the Lincoln County School District during the 2023-24 school year and did not transfer out during the 2022-23 school year will NOT be allowed to transfer out. (Except as provided by law.)
NO CHANGE TO:
Transfers within the four Lincoln County Schools (Bogue Chitto, Enterprise, Loyd Star, and West Lincoln) will continue to be allowed if approved by both school administrators. Requests should be made prior to March 31st each year.
Transfers into the Lincoln County School District will continue to be allowed by the mutual consent of both districts concerned. A parent must first request and receive a release from their home district. Requests should be made prior to March 31st each year.
David Martin, Superintendent
Lincoln County School District
