ADMISSION OF NON-RESIDENT STUDENTS
The Acadia Parish School Board may, by mutual agreement, provide for the admission to any school of student(s) residing in an adjoining city, parish, or other local School Board district, and for transfer of funds or other payments by one School Board to another on account of such attendance.
STUDENTS RESIDING NOT MORE THAN ONE MILE FROM SCHOOL
If not specifically contrary to the provisions of a valid and applicable court order, the School Board shall admit and assign a student to attend any public school requested by a parent or other person responsible for the student's school attendance when the requested school has space available, suitable grade levels, and the child resides not more than one mile from such school. The one-mile distance shall be measured by the distance to be traveled on public streets or highways, or by the boundary of a subdivision. Such assignment shall apply regardless of parish boundaries. The School Board, however, shall have final authority and responsibility for the assignment, transfer, and continued attendance of students in schools within the School Board's jurisdiction.
