What kind of supporting documentation do I need to submit for reassignment under the hardship category?

Under the HARDSHIP category, documentation and information that supports a family’s claim of unique hardship must be submitted with the request form. Please scan and email all documentation to residency@hcpss.org. Examples of supporting documentation include, but are not limited to: 

  • Recommendation Form for a Licensed Medical or Mental Health Professional 
  • Documentation of a student’s work with a mental health or medical professional (e.g., should include information about the diagnosis, treatment plan, and expected outcomes) 
  • Documentation that demonstrates a link between a student’s mental health and/or medical condition and the necessity for a transfer to a different school 
  • Documentation that demonstrates that HCPSS staff at the designated school cannot support a student’s socioemotional wellbeing, mental health needs, and/or medical condition 
  • A principal’s complaint outcome letter after completion of a Bullying, Cyberbullying, Harassment, or Intimidation Reporting Form 
  • Verifiable documentation that demonstrates a student’s unique hardship. 

Additional information and documentation may be requested. Submitting documentation does not guarantee an approval.
