Waiver Application for Out-of-District Attendance 

The Orting School District allows for students living outside the district to request a waiver to attend school in this district. The Non-Resident Application for Enrollment must be submitted annually with an approved Release of Attendance or Choice Transfer form from the resident district.

Out-of-District Waiver Criteria
Non-resident applications are considered on a first-come, first-served basis and are based on the following criteria:

  • There is adequate capacity in the school (acceptance of the transfer should not cause a hardship on resident students)
  • The student demonstrates regular attendance, academic effort, and conformance with school disciplinary standards.
  • The parent is willing and able to provide timely transportation.
  • The school offers a program suitable to meet the educational and other needs of the student.
  • The request does not cause a financial burden to the Orting School District.

If the student does not meet these criteria, the district will communicate expectations to the parent and student, and the out-of-district waiver may be revoked.
