Transfer students from other school systems are enrolled pending receipt of their disciplinary records from the school they have previously attended. A transfer student's most recent report card and evaluation by Tattnall school officials will determine a student's class assignment and placement. In the event that there is a delay in receipt of complete academic records, a student may be temporarily assigned to classes and programs based on information provided by the parent. In this event, class assignment and program placement may be changed upon receipt of complete academic records. Students transferring between two Tattnall County schools as a result of an address change must present a Change of Address form and updated proof of residency. In the interest of maintaining a safe and productive school environment for all children and in accordance with state law, parents will also be asked to provide any information about a child's history with law enforcement and the judicial system, if such exists. If the student has been expelled from another school system, the Tattnall County Board of Education may deny admission.

All students who have not attained the age of 20 by September 1 are eligible for enrollment in appropriate education programs, unless they have received a high school diploma or the equivalent. Students who have not dropped out of school for one complete semester or more and who have not attained the age of 21 by September 1 are eligible for enrollment, provided they have not received a high school diploma or the equivalent. Federal law declares that a free appropriate public education must be made available for all children three through 21 years of age with IDEA defined disabilities.
