2. The request shall be made within 14 days after receipt of the letter denying the transfer request,
3. In cases where the transfer request was filed within the established deadline, parents/guardians shall be notified of the time and date of a transfer review committee meeting at least seven days in advance of the meeting. The transfer review committee shall consist of: a representative from the Superintendent of Schools’ Office, a principal from an elementary, middle and/or high school and a representative of the Department of Student Services.
