DISTRICT OF CHOICE TRANSFERS for TK-8th grade students who live outside the Semitropic Elementary School District boundary and wish to attend SESD.  (District Boundary Map - Click Here)

• Applications for District of Choice transfers are available here or at the Semitropic School Office. Duplicate or incomplete applications will not be accepted.

• Students do not need to be released from their district of residence to apply and be accepted. Only a very limited number of new transfers are accepted by SESD each year.

• Due to the volume of requests Semitropic receives each year, during open session at Semitropic’s Regular Board Meetings, application names will be drawn on a random basis and added to an official waiting list.

• Semitropic transfer policies are in line with board adopted BP5117 and AR5117.

District of Choice students that are accepted will be notified by phone call prior to May 1st, 2025.  Students not accepted will be notified by mailed letter after the acceptance list is complete.

Interdistrict Transfers

Families wishing to submit an Interdistrict Transfer pursuant to AR/BP 5117, must start with their district of residence first.  Upon board approval, Semitropic may accept interdistrict transfers of students so long as it does not cause classroom capacities to exceed district maximums and enrollment projection totals for "in-boundary" students.

Interdistrict Transfers are accepted January 1st - July 31st of each school year.  Interdistrict transfer notice of acceptance or denial will be communicated within 14 days of the start of the school year.

Students admitted under an interdistrict transfer shall comply with the district interdistrict attendance guidelines.
