Intra-District Transfer

• In accordance with the West Allis-West Milwaukee School Attendance Area Policy 5120.01 ‘Intra-District Attendance Area Transfers’  the reasons the district will consider intra-district transfer requests are limited to legal and medical matters.

• If school administration initiates a district transfer, it will be the assigned school until the child transitions to a new grade level (elementary, intermediate, high school) or according to the timeline established by school administration.

• Intra-District Transfer Requests should originate with the school the child currently attended.

• A legal matter requires legal documentation (e.g., restraint/custody order documentation).

• A medical matter requires medical documentation (e.g., physician documentation regarding medical condition) and a signed Release of Information.
