Medical or Family Hardship Appeal
The Medical and Family Hardship Appeals Committee is convened after each placement period and conducts a review of students who submit an appeal based on either medical or family hardship. If an appeal is approved, it is sent to the Educational Placement Center for assignment into a school that can meet the student’s needs and that has space available.
- Appeals are granted on the basis of the documentation provided to the Appeals Committee, which is convened only for the purpose of conducting reviews at specific times in the enrollment cycle.
- Appeals are considered only for cases where the students needs cannot be met at the assigned school.
- Approved appeals are granted for ONE SCHOOL ONLY that can meet the student’s needs and cannot be used for placement into multiple schools.
- Appeal forms can be obtained from the EPC or from the District’s website and returned at the appropriate deadline in order to be reviewed.
- You must submit a Round 2 application - listing the school you're appealing for - in addition to an appeal form.
See appeals forms for more information.
