Intra-District Transfer

In general, new intra-district transfer applications are paused for PreK-8 students for the 2024-25 school years, with limited exceptions. Information about the 2024-25 intra-district transfer process for high school students and for special circumstances is noted below, and available on our website. 

Current intra-district transfer students will remain enrolled in their current school building for the 2024-25 school year, unless they opt-out to attend their neighborhood school by emailing enroll@isd194.org. 

Current intra-district transfer students can opt to attend their neighborhood school instead by emailing enroll@isd194.org.

Intra-district transfer applies to students who live in the Lakeville Area Schools district boundary area, but wish to attend a different school in the district other than the one assigned to their residence. 

The intra-district transfer process applies only to families who currently live within the boundaries of Lakeville Area Schools and are applying to attend a school other than their attendance area school. If you do not currently live within the boundaries of Lakeville Area Schools, please follow the procedures for Open Enrollment.

Open enrollment is for families who live outside the Lakeville Area School boundary line, and wish for their student to attend a Lakeville Area School. Learn more about open enrollment here. 

Current intra-district transfer students do not need to re-apply for the following school year, unless they opt to attend their neighborhood school (by emailing enroll@isd194.org). 

To streamline our enrollment process, current Intra-District transfer students entering 6th or 9th grade will not need to re-apply. Instead they will continue on with their peers on the school path for open enrolled and intra-district students, unless they opt out to attend their neighborhood school (by emailing enroll@isd194.org). 

• High school students who wish to apply for intra-district transfer can email enroll@isd194.org for an application for the 2024-25 school year. Approval of applications will be contingent on grade level and school capacity. 
• Current intra-district transfer students enrolled in Ignite! and Impact Academy will remain enrolled in their current program at their current school building, unless they opt out to attend their neighborhood school (by emailing enroll@isd194.org).

• Current intra district transfer students can remain in their current school buildings for the 2024-25 school year.

• Families with incoming siblings of current intra-district transfer students can apply for their incoming child to attend the school their older sibling has intra-district transferred into by completing an application through enroll@isd194.org. Approval of applications will be contingent on grade level and school capacity.

• Full time school staff members can apply for their child to intra-district transfer or open enroll into the school they work at by completing an application through enroll@isd194.org. This is similar to past administrative practice, and the purpose of this benefit is to provide convenience to staff who drive to-and-from school/work with their child. Approval of applications will be contingent on grade level and school capacity.

• Student Services Specialized Transfers: In rare circumstances, K-12 students may be transferred to a different school that contains the program and resources to meet the specialized needs of the student. This is primarily for students with center-based IEP placements and occurs only upon review by the Executive Director of Student Services and/or Director of Special Education. Learn more here. 

With the exception of the exemptions noted above, the intra-district transfer process is paused for the 2024-25 school years for grades K-8. All other applications will not be accepted or approved. This process will be reevaluated prior to the start of each school year by the Administration beginning in the 2025-26 school year.
