Out-of-Boundary Deadline Change

Recently received:
Sent on behalf of Lisa Raymond, member of the Board of Education, District 3:

For the 2007-2008 school year, 8th grade students currently attending junior high schools will be required to attend their neighborhood high school. Since notification has yet to be sent out to parents, on February 21, 2007, the DC Board of Education has approved, for all students, an extension of the Out-of-Boundary Transfer process. The last day to request an Out-of-Boundary transfer will be March 15, 2007 for the 2007-2008 school year. The
Out-of-Boundary application process is for parents/guardians who wish to apply for permission to enroll their children in DCPS schools other than their neighborhood school.

The Division of Student Services is accepting online out-of-boundary requests at
https://webb.k12.dc.us/OOB/index.asp.

If you are interested in requesting an out-of-boundary transfer but lack access to a computer, you may submit your application using the public computers at District of Columbia public libraries, recreation centers, or one of the computers available at 825 North Capitol Building NE, Room 8136, during normal business hours.

If parents are unable to access a computer, the Division of Student Services will assist those parents via telephone at (202) 442-5099.

The Division of Student Services can also be reached via e-mail at oob@k12.dc.us.
