Transfer Requests
This page is designed to address the desire of a parent to request a "change of venue", "student transfer" or, for "special permission for my child to attend a school that is different than the one they are expected to go to".
Even though students are expected to attend the appropriate school for their attendance area in Albemarle County, the School Board of Albemarle County Virginia does make some allowances. Parents of children who reside in Albemarle County can request from the Superintendent that their child(ren) attend a school different than the one the child(ren) are expected to be enrolled at. While there is no fee for parents to take advantage of this allowance, parents are expected to be responsible for the transportation to ensure their child attend the approved school. This same allowance is available to Albemarle County employees who reside in Albemarle County and are parents or guardians of students enrolled in Albemarle County Public Schools.
Albemarle County employees that reside outside of Albemarle County may also make a request for their child(ren) to attend an Albemarle County Public School of their choice, but in addition to having the responsibility to provide all transportation in order for the child to attend the approved school, parents would also be expected to pay a fee for tuition.
