Mitchell won’t seek policy change BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Alcorn School District Superintendent Larry B. Mitchell said he will not seek to change the student transfer policy, following unfavorable input from board members. Mitchell told board members

during an April 11 meeting that he wanted to “review the policy that regulates those (students) who want to leave the district for whatever reason.” On Friday, the superintendent said he will “back off” on changing the policy. “I asked the board for input

after the meeting, and it appears they are not in favor of revising the policy,” Mitchell said. “Hopefully it is something we can revisit at a later date.” The policy currently states that out-of-district transfers are granted if a parent is a regular employee of the school district

to which the student wishes to transfer; if the student lives more than 30 miles from the student’s home school; if the brother(s) and/or sister(s) of the student were approved for transfer previously; if a student’s parents are separated or divorced, the student may be

allowed to attend school in the district in which either parent is a bonafide resident; or if there are exceptional circumstances in the judgment of the board in individual cases. Other than in extraordinary Please see POLICY | 2
