Georgia State Law, often referred to as HB 251, gives parents of public school students the option to request a transfer for their child to another school within their district where space is available and parents provide transportation. The law allows us to determine available space within the confines of our permanent buildings and classrooms but does not require us to create additional classrooms beyond our budgetary limitations.
Barrow County School System was able to provide the following options for the 2024-25 school year:
- Bethlehem Elementary – Grades 2 and 5 only
- Bramlett Elementary - Grades 3 and 4 only
- County Line Elementary – Grades 3 and 4 only
- Winder Elementary – Grades 4 and 5 only
- Bear Creek Middle – Grades 7 and 8 only
- Haymon-Morris Middle – Grade 8 only
- Westside Middle – Grades 7 and 8 only
Transfer Request Forms were available online and at the Board of Education office. The deadline for all requests for the 2024-25 school year was 12 p.m., Friday, May 24, 2024. Please email Rochelle Rushton at rochelle.rushton@barrow.k12.ga.us with any questions.
