Boundary Waiver Requests

LCSD1 accepts boundary waiver requests from parents/guardians in early February for the upcoming school year.

To submit a request, click the green Boundary Waiver Form button located on this page. Please review the K_12 process below prior to filling out the request form.

The following submission deadlines will apply:

  • Submit this boundary waiver request by April 30 for parent/guardian to receive notification by the end of the school year.
  • Submit this boundary waiver request by August 1 for parent/guardian to receive notification by August 15.
  • After August 15, the deadline to submit a boundary waiver is the week prior to the end of the quarter with parent/guardian notification by the start of the next quarter.
  • Waivers for 4th quarter are only accepted for extenuating circumstances.

Families must provide their own transportation to and from school. Violation of school rules, suspension or persistent tardies and/or absences will be grounds for revoking or denying boundary waivers.

K-12 waiver process:

  • Prekindergarten students are not eligible for boundary waivers
  • One request per school year per student
  • Address verification at any school or submitted with your online registration
  • Online Registration Must be completed before boundary waiver submission
  • Students who currently have a boundary waiver and move during the school year may remain at their existing school for the remainder of the school year or move to their new school.
  • Waivers are not official until both principals and the Boundary Waiver Committee have approved the request.
  • Fresh Start—Prior to consideration, problem-solving with school administration must be attempted.
  • Programs—A waiver may be offered for students to attend programs offered only at specific schools with available space. Students should remain in good standing, otherwise waiver may be forfeited.
  • District employees—Requests are granted on a space-available basis for parent(s)/guardian(s) who are district employees and work in the requested buildings.
  • Grades 9-12 only: Varsity competition may be suspended for up to a year, for either approved waivers and/or forfeited waivers. (WHSAA Regulation 6.4, https://www.whsaa.org/)

You will need to have the following information to complete your Boundary Waiver form.  The student id number (lunch number), student date of birth, grade for the 2025-2026 school year, and contact information for all parent/guardians.
