Admin Rule, effective 2017-2018 school year:

Any Franklin County student who is identified as living outside of district lines within a current school year will be allowed to stay enrolled in that school until the end of the school year based upon the principal's approval. However, no transportation will be provided to any student described as living outside of district lines as defined by the FCSS, and the student must enroll in their correct district school before attending the FCSS the following school year.

Granted requests allow the student to complete the current school year at the approved school. You will need to apply for a hardship each year to remain in that school.
