Wakulla County Schools Out of Zone Student Reassignment Request Information for 2008-2009

{sidebar id=1}An Out of Zone Student Reassignment Request is a request to go to a school in Wakulla County other than the school in Wakulla County your child is zoned for.  It is not a request to go to school out of the district of Wakulla County, nor is it a request to attend a Wakulla County school if the student lives in a different county/school district.

This does not affect the grandfathering of 2008-2009 5th graders who want to stay at their currently zoned elementary school for next year only. The “Grandfathering Application” mailed to those students and their parents is the only form needed to fill out for that request.

A limited number of out of zone slots are available at each school and at each grade level due to the need to accommodate students who are zoned for that school and those who may move into that zone after school has started.  Parents must provide their own transportation for an approved out of zone student.  The assignment may also be rescinded at any time if the student has attendance, academic, and/or behavioral problems at the out of zone school.  He or she would then return to their in-zone school.

Out of Zone Student Reassignment Request forms may be filled out and turned in by March 28, 2008 at 4:00 p.m. Turn them in to Beth O’Donnell, Assistant Superintendent for Instruction, located at the School Board Office on Arran Road across from the U.S. Post Office, or mail them to:

Beth O’Donnell
P.O.Box 100
Crawfordville, FL 32326

Call Ms. O’Donnell at 926-0065 if you have questions.  The forms are on goldenrod paper and may be obtained at the School Board Office or at your child’s school.

Out of Zone requests will be approved on a slot availability basis, and then names will be put on a waiting list.  Approval or denial notifications will be made by early May for request forms turned in by March 28, 2008 at 4:00 p.m.  An Out of Zone Student Reassignment is annual and a new form must be filled out for each new school year.
