-
1. Sibling (brother or sister) Transfers
Sibling (brother or sister) transfers are considered only if they would be in attendance at the same time at the requested school. Must provide proof of sibling 's current enrollment. (Having a sibling at the school requested does not guarantee that a transfer will be granted.)
