FROM THE ADMINISTRATION OFFICE….. In-District Building Transfer Requests & Schools-of-Choice Hudsonville Public Schools will be considering In-District Building Transfer Requests and Schools-of-Choice Applications for all buildings (room permitting) for the 2010-2011 school year. The following conditions apply:
- The staffing and building facilities can accommodate the transfer. Openings will be determined by grade level allowing open positions for move-in students. Due to staffing, student transportation, or other considerations, the district may opt to deny a request.
- In-district building transfers, once approved, will remain in effect unless a major shift in student population or redistricting occurs.
