HARDSHIP REQUESTS
A student may be granted a “hardship” transfer when a condition or situation exists that implies an adverse or compelling circumstance or a state of misfortune unique to that student’s life or a family’s life situation.

Out of County Requests
The St Johns County School District will not accept any requests for students residing outside of St Johns County, unless they are children of St Johns County School Board employees.
Home Purchase Requests
Hardship transfers based on future home purchases are not granted. Students need to be registered in the school zone where they are currently living.
Student-Athlete Transfers
Student-Athletes who transfer to another school must oblige themselves to the FHSAA Rules of Athletic Eligibility. |
Transfer Policy and Procedure
Out of Zone hardship transfers are valid for ONE SCHOOL YEAR ONLY. Students currently on an out of zone waiver are not automatically guaranteed acceptance for the next school year. A new application must be submitted annually. If transfer is granted, TRANSPORTATION MUST BE PROVIDED BY THE PARENT.
A committee will review your request for an out of zone transfer. A decision will be made based on the information provided in the application and any additional documentation. Please allow approximately three weeks for an email response. If application is denied, a parent may request an appeal in writing to the Office for School Services. Once the denial is provided to the parent, the parent must enroll the student in the attendance zone in which they reside, even if appealing at the next level. The Superintendent will appoint a Transfer Appeals Committee. All decisions by the Superintendent are final.
