Resident Enrollment Into Non-Resident School

How to Request a Release from your Resident School District

  1. Submit a Form: Parents or guardians can request a release by completing the district's form (3141F Annual Request for Release and Application for Nonresident Admission), available below, or through the OSPI Choice Transfer Portal here.

  2. Decision Process: The superintendent will review the request and notify you in writing whether it's approved or denied.

    • If Approved: The superintendent will inform the new district and arrange for the transfer of student records.
    • If Denied: You’ll be informed of your right to request a hearing before the School Board. The Board’s final decision will be communicated in writing, and if the request is still denied, you can appeal to the Office of Administrative Hearings.
