Intradistrict Transfer

Thank you for your interest in Glynn County Schools' School Choice program (Intradistrict Transfer)

House Bill 251 Public School Choice (2025-2026)

 

Parent Notification

 As a parent or guardian of a student currently enrolled in the Glynn County School District, we are notifying you of two laws that allow parents of public school students in Georgia the opportunity to enroll their child(ren) in schools within the local school district in which they reside that may be outside of their geographic zone.  House Bill 251 (HB 251), a law signed by Governor Perdue in 2009 allows parents of public school students in Georgia the opportunity to enroll their child(ren) in designated schools within the local school district in which they reside. 

 

As a parent or guardian, you can request to have your child transferred to another public school within the school district as long as the district has determined that there is available classroom space at the school you requested.  If you choose to transfer your child to another school in the district, the law requires you to assume all costs and responsibilities related to the transportation of your child to and from the school.  Out of County applications may be considered pending capacity of the school. Tuition is required for any applications that may be approved.

 

The Georgia State Compulsory Attendance Law requires that every parent, guardian, or other person residing within this state having control or charge of any child or children between their 6th and 16th birthday, shall enroll and send their child(ren) to a public, private, or home study school program or shall be penalized under the law (See Section 20-3-690.1). In the state of Georgia, any child missing 5 or more unexcused days from school is considered to be truant. Any student who is approved for an HB251 Transfer and becomes truant within the school year will be at risk of losing their HB251 status and will be required to enroll in their zoned school. 

 

For more information, please see our district policy.
