Parents/Guardians desirous of having their child(ren) attend a school outside of their specific attendance boundary should apply for an Out-of-Area Transfer. This process begins in the Regional Center that serves the parent’s/guardian’s legal address. At the Regional Center, parents will also be advised of any supporting documentation required for the application. The respective Regional Center will determine approval or denial of the transfer and parents/guardians will be notified, accordingly.

Should parents/guardians not concur with a transfer request that has been denied by their Regional Center Transfer Office, then the right to appeal at the next level may be exercised through the Regional Center Superintendent/Director. This office represents the Superintendent of Schools.

OUT-OF-COUNTY STUDENT TRANSFERS

Parents/guardians seeking a transfer from Miami-Dade County Public Schools to a neighboring school district (i.e., Broward, Monroe), need to request an “Out-of-County” transfer application. This request will be reviewed by staff at Attendance Services and forwarded to the appropriate county for approval into their school district. The receiving county will notify the parents/guardians if the transfer is approved. If Attendance Services receives a transfer request from another county, it will be reviewed and the parents/guardians will be notified when the transfer is approved or denied.
