Out of District/Non-Resident Choice Transfer Appeals

If your student's Choice Transfer request is denied, you have the right to appeal that decision to Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH). An appeal means you are requesting a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge with the OAH.

If you choose to submit an appeal to OAH to request a hearing, complete the Notice of Appeal Form (PDF).

Send only the appeal application form and a copy of the denial letter/email to (a brief cover letter is optional) via email to OAH.OSPI@oah.wa.gov. The notice of appeal form must be sent by secure email. If you do not have a secure email password, email this address, without the form attached, to request instructions for filing the form by secure email.

Appeals may also be filed by mail by sending the appeal application form and a copy of the denial letter/email to (a brief cover letter is optional) to:
