Under House Bill 251, a new state law enacted in 2009, a parent or legal guardian of a kindergarten through twelfth grade student in Troup County Schools may request to transfer the child to another Troup County Public School for the upcoming 2009-2010 school year.  Before the transfer is allowed, the school district must determine that classroom space is available, that teacher allocations at the school are appropriate and all assigned students have been enrolled and scheduled.  Upon approval to transfer a child to another school in the district, the law requires the parent or legal guardian to assume all costs and responsibilities related to the transportation as long as the student remains at that school. The district’s list of schools with current available classroom space for the upcoming school year is posted on the Troup County School System website along with the form and directions necessary to complete the application process. Applications will be accepted from July 1 through July 16, 2009.
