Reference: Weber School District Boundary Adjustment Guidelines and Procedures

Attendance boundaries for the various levels of schools are designated to provide for the orderly control of the number of students assigned to a particular school.  School attendance area boundaries shall be reviewed periodically by the administrative staff and recommendations made to the Board of Education.

The Board of Education endeavors to have an equitable education program in all grade levels.  Students are expected to attend the school in their attendance area boundary unless they are permitted to attend another school under the District’s Residency Policy (Including Extra Curricular Competitive Activities) #4160 or unless an Individual Education Plan (IEP) requires attendance at another school.  

When a student or the student’s parent/guardian moves out of an attendance area, the student must immediately enroll in the school for the new attendance area unless there is less than one quarter remaining in the current school year or unless they have received permission to remain in the current school under the Residency Policy (Including Extra Curricular Competitive Activities) #4160

When the Board approves changes in attendance area boundaries, the Board may at the same time provide students with the option of continuing to attend the school in which they are currently enrolled (“Grandfathered Students”) under conditions established by the Board which conditions shall include at least the following:

1. The Grandfathered Student’s parent/guardian is responsible to provide any transportation required for the student to remain in the school for the old attendance area.
2. The Grandfathered Student must have only one year of attendance left at the school for the old attendance area.
3. Siblings of a Grandfathered Student must attend the school in the new attendance area unless permission to attend the old school is obtained under Policy #4160.
4. The ability of Grandfathered Students to attend the school for the old attendance area is contingent on the school having sufficient space to accommodate the Grandfathered Student.  If there is insufficient space available to accommodate all Grandfathered students who desire to remain in the old school, the Grandfathered Students who will be allowed to attend shall be selected by random drawing.
5. Any Grandfathered Student who violates school or district rules/policies may at the option of the Principal be required to attend the school for the new attendance area.
6. Principals are not authorized to make exceptions to this policy and any exceptions must be approved by the Student Services Department.
