It is the policy of the Mountain Brook Board of Education that residences within the city limits of Mountain Brook which are located on the streets listed below shall comprise an optional school attendance area.  Residents of the optional school attendance area shall be given the option of enrolling their children in either Mountain Brook Elementary or Brookwood Forest Elementary School.

All new residents of the optional attendance area shall be informed of this policy by the Superintendent or his designee at the time said residents seek permission to enroll their children in school.

Residents in the optional attendance area who may wish to transfer their children from Mountain Brook Elementary School to Brookwood Forest Elementary School or from Brookwood Forest Elementary School to Mountain Brook Elementary School shall present such a request in writing to the Superintendent on or before August 1.  The Superintendent shall have the authority to deny a request for transfer if such transfer results in over-crowding or any other condition which, in the judgement of the Superintendent, is not in the best interests of the students.  In the event that a transfer is approved, it shall be considered a permanent transfer.
