modifying the language for intra-district public school transfers to include schools within school administrative units.
Refer to Interim Study, MA, VV; 02/19/2026; SJ 4
Summary
The bill allows parents to request a move for their child to any public school, public academy, or approved private school that is part of the same School Administrative Unit (SAU), not just within the district. Superintendents or providers of superintendent services must review each request and can approve it unless the school cannot accommodate the student or the move is not in the child’s best interest. Transfers to schools outside the SAU are also permitted but require a meeting, possible tuition agreements, and parental responsibility for transportation.
