Residency Requirements 

HSE Schools is a closed district and may only enroll students who reside within the HSE Schools geographic boundaries or who provide documentation (i.e. signed lease agreement or purchase agreement) of an upcoming move into the boundaries. [Policy J03.02]

Student assignment to a school is determined by attendance boundaries established by HSE Schools. Students are expected to attend the school assigned to the home address where the students and parents/guardians reside. Students are eligible for school bus transportation to and from their assigned home school.
 

Transfer Appeal Process

Transfers to a non-home school may be requested for the reasons listed below. Decisions related to transfer requests are based on student eligibility (considerations include but are not limited to academics, behavior, and attendance), building enrollment numbers, and grade-level space availability within each school. The building Principals from all schools impacted by the transfer appeal will be consulted.
 
Transfer Eligibility

1. New students whose families will be relocating to an address within HSE Schools’ boundaries from another school district—residency documentation such as a signed lease agreement or signed purchase contract must be provided
2. Current students whose families relocate within HSE Schools’ boundaries into a different school attendance boundary
3. Current students whose families will be moving out of HSE Schools’ boundaries to a different school corporation’s district during a school year may complete the current semester at HSE Schools
4. Siblings of current students who are receiving services at a designated school
5. Children of HSE Schools employees—student’s parent is a current employee of the corporation and has an annual salary of at least $8,000 [Policy J03.02]
6. Current students, in good-standing (considerations include but are not limited to academics, behavior, and attendance), whose families request to have their students attend a school that is not the school assigned to the students’ address, due to another reason not listed above

Senior Rights
A student completing the 11^th grade as a resident of HSE Schools may remain enrolled in HSE Schools for their senior year even if the student no longer has legal settlement within the HSE Schools boundaries. [Policy J03.02]
 
IMPORTANT:

• Completion of the transfer appeal form does not guarantee approval of the transfer request.
• Transfer approvals are valid for one school year at a time; a new transfer appeal must be submitted annually.
• Transfer approvals are contingent upon completion of the online enrollment process and review by HSE Schools.
• The transfer appeal determination will be provided via email within 10 school days if the request is for the current school year; if the request is for the upcoming school year, the determination will be provided prior to the beginning of the school year, or as soon as reasonably possible.
• HSE Schools transportation is not provided for students receiving a transfer approval.
• Transfer approval does not guarantee athletic eligibility as determined by the IHSAA.
• Documented patterns of disciplinary referrals, truancy, late arrivals, leaving early, and/or consistent failure to drop off and pick up students on time, may result in denial of a transfer appeal or revocation of a transfer approval.
