Kentucky Commitment to Another District (CAD) is a program that allows students to transfer from their current school district to another district within the state of Kentucky. This program is designed to improve student access to high quality educational opportunities. It is specifically for students who are at risk of academic failure or who have been identified as needing additional support for their academic success. The CAD program has two types of commitments: student-initiated transfers and district-initiated transfers. Student-initiated transfers are where the student transfers to a different district on their own initiative. District-initiated transfers are when a district makes the decision to transfer a student to another district in order to better meet their educational needs. In both cases, the transferring district must complete the necessary paperwork and provide the receiving district with all the necessary documentation. Once the receiving district has reviewed the documents, they will decide whether to accept or reject the transfer. If accepted, the student will be able to attend the school in the new district and receive the support necessary to achieve academic success.
