Notice of Public School Choice - As required by Georgia HB 251

Georgia law states parents of students enrolled in Georgia public schools may request to transfer their child to another school within the school district if the district determines there is classroom space available.

For the 2025-2026 school year, HB251 transfer space is available for the following.

• Fourth Grade at K.B. Sutton Elementary School

• Fifth Grade at K.B. Sutton Elementary School

No space is available in any other grade levels or schools.

Should a transfer request be approved for these spaces, the parent is responsible for all transportation. This transfer request is contingent upon any special programs the student may be enrolled in (English Language Learner Program or Special Education Program) which may require placement at a designated school where programs are housed.

Once a request has been approved for a student to be transferred to an out-of-zone school, the parents will not be allowed to move back and forth between the zoned school and the requested school. Unless there is an attendance or tardy concern, the student will remain at the requested school for the remainder of the year and/or until the last grade offered at that school. If at the end of the school year the parent/guardian wishes to return to the zoned school, the parent/guardian must complete and submit the Application to Request Public School Transfer.

The district will accept transfer request applications between Monday, July 7, 2025 through Monday, July 21, 2025 for the above-mentioned spaces. Applicants will be notified during the dates of July 28 - 31, 2025 of their application status. Applications should be submitted to Lisa Watson, System Registrar in Monroe County Schools. For more information, please email lisa.watson@mcschools.org or call 478-994-2031 ext. 1037.
