The Hardship Transfer Timeline (en Español) outlines the steps of the process.
The hardship transfer window is currently closed. No new requests are accepted. Previously submitted hardship transfer requests cannot be appealed or reopened at this time.
Families who would like to change schools can select a new placement for the 2024-2025 school year during Open Enrollment this summer through September 13, 2024.
Families who have safety concerns should work with their current school on a safety plan for the remainder of the school year. If appropriate, students should be referred to the Student Hearing Office. Families with specific questions or concerns should contact transfers@nolapublicschools.com.
Accelerated Transfers are for 8th*-12th grade students to transfer from one NOLA-PS school to a NOLA-PS school with an accelerated program when the student is overage for their grade. Please note that 8th grade students must be fifteen (15) years of age or older.
Students Who May Be a Good Fit:
NOLA-PS only accepts Accelerated Transfer requests directly from schools. Your current school will be able to assist you with an Accelerated Transfer request. Please contact your school administration if you are interested in this option.
