The
Cherokee County School District Board of Trustees (Policy JFB), and Cherokee
County School District will offer limited school choice for the 2022/2023
academic year based on availability of space within specific grade levels at
each school in our district. You may
request that your child attend a school other than his/her zoned school by
completing the online application no later than April 1, 2022. All parents will be notified of the status of
their request no later than June 1, 2022.
All applications will be considered in the order in which they are
received beginning at 9 a.m. on March 1, 2022.
The application can be found on the Cherokee County School District
website (application link click here). Students who have already been approved for
school choice do not have to reapply for the 2022/2023 school year, unless the
student is advancing from 4K to 5K Kindergarten, elementary school to middle
school, or middle school to high school and the school of choice is not in the
assigned attendance zone.
If
your choice is granted, your student must remain at the chosen school for the
entire school year. Please note that it
is the responsibility of the family to provide transportation to and from the
requested school outside of your student’s attendance zone. You must have your student at school on time
and picked up on time. Students must not
have excessive tardiness in order for the transfer to remain in effect. Also, students are expected to maintain an
acceptable academic, discipline, and attendance record. A principal may choose to recommend revoking
school choice status should a student fail to meet those expectations. It is also
the responsibility of the parent/guardian to establish eligibility of student
participation in activities sponsored by the S.C. High School League. In order to participate in such activities, a
student must meet all SCHSL eligibility requirements. For any questions about eligibility, please
contact the district’s Athletic Director, Coach Scriven, at 206-2201.
If you
agree with all of the above and wish to make an official request that your
student attend a school other than his/her zoned school, please complete the
online application found on the district’s website, between March 1st and March 31st.
