    Students are assigned to a school district based on the location of the student's parent or legal guardian's residence. The Federal Court Order # 4916 and Shelby County School Board Policies state that a student is assigned to a school district based on the residency of the student's parent or legal guardian, therefore, school personnel may request proof of residency from the student's parent or legal guardian. A list of items that we accept as proof of residency may be obtained from the web site. Click here for a list.

    Parents may request a transfer under certain circumstances for their child to attend a school out of the district in which they reside. Click here for more information.

    Intervention Programs are based on the premise that early response to learning, behavioral, and emotional problems can lead to better outcomes for students. Behavior intervention initiatives include, but are not limited to:

    1. Prevention in the classroom

    2. School-wide prevention

    3. Individual intervention for students with emotional and conduct disorders

    4. School-family-community linkages

    Prevention strategies are built into the school’s foundation as part of the regular school program. These strategies are accessible to all students not only those students who qualify for special programs.

    Alternative Schools are available to students who, because of violation of school, board, or federally mandated policies, must be removed from the mainstream for a specified period of time to a more restrictive environment. Life skills academics and counseling are the major components of this program.Homebound/Hospital Services are available to provide instruction while students are physically, medically, or mentally incapable of participation in the school setting. Placement in the

    Homebound/Hospital Program should be viewed as a temporary intervention. The student’s medical or psychological disability must be verified by his/her attending physician or psychiatrist. Services are also provided on a temporary basis to an eligible child when the IEP Team has determined that this is the appropriate interim service for that child.
