• Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (精东传媒) offers students the opportunity to request placement in a different school/program through the Request for Reassignment/Transfer process.

    Reassignment and transfer are different processes offered by our department. Requests are not accepted by schools on the Closed Schools List. 

    During the current school year, reassignment requests will be processed within 10 business days of receipt.  

    NOTE: Reassignment requests pertain to students who are newly enrolled in Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools. Transfer requests are for students currently enrolled in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. The 10-day reassignment request timeline is only for the current school year. If your reassignment/transfer request is for the next school year, please see the key dates below:

    The transfer window for the 2025-26 school year will be open from March 15, 2024, until April 15, 2024. Brand new or re-registering students will have 10 days to submit a request for reassignment for the 2025-26 school year.

    McKinney-Vento transportation is provided only between the home school or school of origin for McKinney-Vento students. The home school is the school based from the student's current temporary residence, while the school of origin is the last school attended before the housing crisis.

    Transportation is only guaranteed if the request is to the student's home school or a magnet, Career & Technical Education(CTE), or school option program that serves the student's transportation zone.

    For a request based on allegations of bullying, the parents/legal guardian must provide the following:

    • Documentation that the bullying incidents which are the basis of the transfer request have been reported to the principal (or another appropriate staff person) at the current school.
    • Documentation confirming a face-to-face meeting between the parents/student and the principal of the current school to discuss the bullying report.
    • A description of interventions developed to prevent bullying from recurring and details on how they have been implemented.
    • Documentation of bullying occurrences after the implementation of the interventions by the current school.
