A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO REQUIRE THE LOCAL BOARDS OF EDUCATION IN IREDELL COUNTY TO PERMIT THE TRANSFER OF STUDENTS FROM ONE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT TO ANOTHER WITHIN THE COUNTY.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  The local boards of education in Iredell county shall permit the transfer of a student from one local school administrative unit to another local school administrative unit within the county, regardless of whether the student is domiciled within the attendance boundaries of the administrative unit to which the student is requesting transfer, when such transfer is requested, in writing, by the parent or guardian of the student, or by a person standing in loco parentis to the student.  Requests for transfer shall be made to the school boards of the local school administrative units involved in the requested transfer at least 60 days prior to the requested effective date of the transfer and shall set forth reasons for the transfer request.
Requests for transfer may not be denied except upon a finding by the school boards of the local school administrative units involved in the transfer, based upon substantial evidence, that the transfer would be detrimental to the interests of the student, or that the transfer would violate State or federal law or federal court order.
Sec. 2. This act is effective upon ratification, applies only to school boards and local school administrative units in Iredell county, and applies to all school years beginning with the 1989-90 school year.
