Hardship Requests

If you need to request a hardship transfer, please complete an Interdistrict Transfer application and attach a letter stating the specific reasons for your request. Hardship cases are reviewed on a case by case basis throughout the school year. When considering an Interdistrict Hardship Transfer, Banks School District will use the following criteria, defined in OAR 581-021-0019 (1)(c).

Hardship defined as:

  • The student is impacted by a parent or guardian’s military deployment
  • The student is experiencing instability related to homelessness or foster care placement
  • The student has a documented medical condition that necessitates transfer
  • Death of a student’s parent
  • The student does not have access to safe and affordable childcare in the resident district
  • The student is involved in a documented case of severe harassment, intimidation, bullying or cyberbullying

Interdistrict Transfer requests are considered contingent upon meeting behavior and attendance expectations: 

  1. Attendance of 92% or greater;
  2. No more than one suspension per academic year; no suspension of, or greater than, five days;
  3. No expulsions;
  4. Timely transportation is the responsibility of the family.
  5. Any other terms written in the acceptance letter to be applied consistently to all students. 

 

Non-resident students should contact their home school district office for transfer requirements.
