Fulton Schools Hardship Transfer Applications Now Available

FULTON COUNTY, GA — Applications are now available for parents who want to request a 2019-2020 hardship transfer or renew a current hardship to another Fulton County elementary, middle or high school.

Parents can fill out the online form on the Fulton County School System's website. This year, physical applications are only required for medical transfer requests, which require pertinent medical provider’s signatures and documentation.

The deadline for submitting a transfer application is 4:30 p.m. Feb. 28, with no exceptions or extensions granted. All requests must be received or postmarked by this date and time. Please note that all school system employees who have children receiving an employee hardship transfer must also renew their requests.

The Feb. 28 deadline applies to students and parents seeking a hardship transfer for medical reasons, curriculum differences, and child care situations or for employees’ children. Schools participating in open enrollment, a separate transfer process that allows students to move to a school with available space, will be announced in early May.

Parents with questions or who need more information about hardship transfers can contact the Fulton County Schools’ Student Assignment Office at 470-254-5550. You can also click here to learn more details about student eligibility for hardship transfers.
