Legal counsel presented a draft inter‑district transfer policy (JFAB) that tracks Section 59‑8‑165; the board heard the first reading and will return for a second reading in August so the district can submit the policy to the State Department by the Aug. 26 deadline.

Deputy Superintendent Dr. Marshall Franklin told the board the district revised its interdistrict transfer (JFAB) policy to comply with state Department of Education guidelines and a 60-day statutory timeline; administrators said the policy will not take effect until the 2027–28 school year and answered board questions about funding formulas, midyear transfers and fees.
