In-District School Transfers

 

The Lansing School District is committed to supporting families when unexpected situations arise, providing a clear process for school transfers to ensure students' needs are met. Learn more on our Enrollment page.

If you need to transfer schools mid-year, please note: 

Transfers are allowed for:

  • Medical: Your child needs to be near a hospital or has a condition needing special care.
  • Safety: Your child was a victim of a documented safety issue.
  • Transportation: Your address is too far from current bus stops, but transferring allows walking, using CATA buses, or parent transport. NO bus transportation is provided for transfers.

To qualify for a transfer:

  • The reason must meet the criteria above.
  • Documentation is required.
  • There must be space at the new school.

Processing:

  • Decisions and notifications to the families are made within 10 school days (may take longer for transfers involving Capital Area K12 Online).
  • Verbal confirmation from the parent/guardian is needed to finalize the transfer.

Please note: For any transfer, bussing WILL NOT be provided.  However, gas cards and CATA bus tokens are available for self-transport.
