Transfers and Withdrawals

State Code 53A Subsection (2)(a) prevents a parent of a student who is enrolled in a charter school or who has accepted an offer of admission to a charter school from duplicating enrollment for the student in another charter school or a school district without following the withdrawal procedures described in Subsection (3) as listed below:

  • The parent of a student enrolled in a charter school may withdraw the student from the charter school for enrollment in another charter school or a school district by submitting to the charter school:
    • (a) On or before June 30, a notice of intent to enroll the student in the student’s school of residence for the following school year;
    • (b) After June 30, a letter of acceptance for enrollment in the student’s school district of residence for the following school year;
    • (c) A letter of acceptance for enrollment in the student’s school district of residence in the current school year;
    • (d) A letter of acceptance for enrollment in a nonresident school district; or,
    • (e) A letter of acceptance for enrollment in a charter school.

Unless provisions have previously been made for a student’s enrollment in another school, WSD is required to notify the school district of residence immediately upon releasing a student from enrollment at WSD during a school year.

Required Enrollment Disclosure

Weilenmann School of Discovery requires the disclosure by parents or guardians of any violation resulting in a suspension or expulsion committed in the preceding 12 months by a student seeking enrollment at the school.

The school also requires parents or guardians to disclose violations committed in the preceding 12 months by a student seeking enrollment at the school that are grounds for suspension or expulsion from public school per 53G-8-205 whether or not these violations resulted in suspension or expulsion.
