House Bill 251(HB 251) Information House Bill 251 (HB 251) allows parents to request a transfer for their child to a school outside of their attendance zone based on available space. School districts determine available classroom space after all zoned students have been enrolled.
***Please note that, by law, parents who transfer a student under HB 251 are responsible for all transportation to and from school. Transportation will not be provided by the Peach County School System.
Elementary and middle school classroom space is grade-specific, and the availability of slots will not be finalized until the tenth day of school. All students will begin the school year at their zoned school. This timeline allows for more accurate enrollment numbers based on new students zoned for the school.
All students will begin at their zoned school and, if approved under HB 251, will be eligible to transfer upon notification of approval. When completing the application, please ensure you enter a valid email address. Approval and denial notifications will be sent by email. Applications will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis, and families will be notified of their status by mid-August.
For the 2026-2027 school year, several schools are operating near capacity. While all applications will be considered, space limitations may prevent some requests from being approved. Families interested in a transfer are encouraged to apply as early as possible but should plan for their child to attend their zoned school unless and until a transfer is approved.
Applications will be accepted from June 1, 2026 through June 18, 2026. Please submit one application per student. Apply here(This link will be active at 8:00 am on June 1st): https://peach.school/hb251
