Lake Chelan School District is accepting Choice Transfer Requests

May 2023

The Lake Chelan School District is accepting Choice Inter-District Transfer requests for the 2023-2024 school year.  The Lake Chelan School District Procedure 3141 states, “The enrollment of a nonresident student is limited to one (1) school year.  Choice Transfers must be renewed for each school year.”

If you would like your child to continue his/her education in our district, please:

    • Your resident school district will contact Lake Chelan School District to complete the Choice Transfer process.
  • Open enrollment for 2021-2022 Choice Transfers is May 1, 2023 – June 23,2023. Please contact your resident district to request release by June 23, 2023.

If your request is received after June 23, 2023, you may be put on a waiting list.

The school principal and superintendent will accept or reject an application for nonresident admission based upon the following standards: 

  1. Whether acceptance of a nonresident student would result in the district experiencing significant financial hardship (“financial hardship” does not include routine programmatic costs associated with serving additional disabled or non-disabled students);
  2. Whether in the grade level or class at the building in which the student desires to be enrolled has the capacity for additional students;
  3. Whether appropriate educational programs or services are available to improve the student’s condition as stated in requesting release from his or her district of residence;
  4. Whether the student’s disciplinary records or other documentation indicate a history of violent or disruptive behavior or gang membership (a gang means a group of three or more persons with identifiable leadership that on an ongoing basis regularly conspires and acts in concert mainly for criminal purposes);
  5. Whether the student has been expelled or suspended from a public school for more than ten consecutive days, in which case the student may apply for admission under the district’s policy for readmission and reengagement of suspended or expelled students; and
  6. Whether enrollment of a nonresident student would conflict with a district innovation academy cooperative under RCW 28A.340.080.

Choice requests may be revoked at the end of a grading period if the student has difficulties with academic progress, attendance, tardiness, discipline, or if continued enrollment poses a risk to the health or safety of other students or staff.

Once the request is processed in accordance with District Board Policy 3141 you will be notified by mail or email.  For questions please contact Georgia Mashayekh, Choice Coordinator, at 509-682-3515 or via email at mashayekhg@chelanschools.org .

Thank you,

Brad Wilson

Superintendent
