A hardship appeal may be granted for cases in which the parent/guardian demonstrates profound hardship that significantly impacts the student's ability to succeed academically. The parent/guardian must complete the Hardship Appeal form and submit it to the principal of the school that they wish for their student to attend. The parent/guardian may be asked to provide documentation of any circumstances that led to the hardship request. Athletic participation should not be the sole reason for a hardship appeal.

Hardship appeals are not accepted during the Controlled Open Enrollment (COE) period which is open January 15 through February 15. The Hardship Appeal process will be available in FOCUS beginning in March 2024. Please check back for instructions on how to submit a Hardship Appeal.
