Student District Release and Student Transfer Information
Lee County Schools utilizes an online platform for District Release Requests. District Release Requests require Board of Education approval. The Board of Education meetings are typically held on the second Tuesday of each month.
Lee County Schools also utilizes an online platform for in-county or an out-of-county transfer to a school within our district. Both employees and non-employees utilize the same form. An attendance and behavior agreement are part of the transfer request process. If you are residing outside of Lee County, you will need to obtain a release from your county of residence and upload prior to requesting a transfer. All required documents are available online.
All transfer requests require approval and all non-employee out of county transfer requests require Board of Education approval and the possibility of a tuition payment. If you disagree with the transfer decision, you have a right to appeal to a panel of the Board of Education. You will need to submit a written notice of appeal to the Executive Director of Student Services within 5 days of receipt of the transfer decision. Appeal hearings will be scheduled prior to the beginning of the school year.
If you have any questions regarding the process, or these forms, please call 919-774-6226 and ask for the Student Services department. Please click here to access the transfer/district release forms. Please be certain you are completing the 25-26 forms for the upcoming school year or the 24-25 forms for the current school year.
If you are enrolling with Lee County Schools from another county, you complete an enrollment and not a transfer.
If you are moving within Lee County to a different address, please do not complete a transfer. You will need to withdraw your child from the school he/she has attended and enroll him/her in the new school of residence.
If you have any questions, please give me a call.
