  2. Title 70

A. In order that any student may be transferred, an application

form specified by the State Board of Education must be completed by

the parents of the student. For purposes of the Education Open

Transfer Act, the term “parent” means the parent of the student or

person having custody of the student as provided for in paragraph 1

of subsection A of Section 1-113 of this title. The application

shall be filed with the superintendent of the receiving school

district for transfers to school districts in this state and with

the State Board of Education for transfers to school districts in

another state.

B. On or before the first day of January, April, July and

October, it shall be the duty of the superintendent of the receiving

school district to file with the State Board of Education and each

resident district a statement showing the names of the students

granted transfers to the school district, the resident school

district of the transferred students and their respective grade

level.

C. For students who are deaf or hearing-impaired who wish to

transfer to a school district with a specialized deaf education

program, applications may be filed at any time during the school

year. The student may transfer to the receiving school district at

any time during the school year.

D. The school district shall enroll transfer students in the

order in which they submit their applications. If the number of

student transfer applications exceeds the capacity of a receiving

school district, as determined by subsection A of Section 8-101.2 of

this title, the district shall select transfer students in the order

in which the district received the student transfer applications.

E. If a transfer application is denied based on the receiving

school district’s open transfer policy adopted pursuant to

subsection B of Section 8-101.2 of this title, the parent of the

student may appeal the decision as provided for in subsection E of

Section 8-101.2 of this title.
