You are eligible to request to have your child transferred to another public school within the Baldwin County School District for the 2021-2022 school year as long as the school has determined that there is available classroom space at the school after all assigned students have been enrolled.
Please note the following terms regarding HB 251:
Students who received approval for a transfer request during this current 2020-2021 school year must have a new form submitted online electronically.
