USD 428 Superintendent Khris Thexton says principals at all the public schools gathered this week to discuss potential transfers within the district. Parents or guardians can make requests for a variety of reasons to have their children transferred to a different school within USD 428. Thexton says the staff was going through the process of determining which transfers to approve.
Families that move to a different location in town have the option of staying in their current school or the school they are moving closer to.

Thexton added there were more than 30 requests for transfers to begin the 2018-2019 school year.
The general rule for USD 428 is if there is room in the requested class and school, then the district will allow the transfer. With that said, the district tries to keep the classes in the elementary schools as balanced as possible.
