INTRA (INSIDE) AND INTER (OUTSIDE) DISTRICT PERMITS
California law requires school districts to provide an education to any student who resides within the district’s attendance area. Although students have the right under California law to a free, public education, the law does not guarantee that a student can attend the school of his or her choice, or even the neighborhood school.
California’s educational system relies on local control for the management of school districts on the theory that those closest to the problems and needs of each individual district are the best able to make appropriate decisions on behalf of the district. In allocating their resources among the schools of the district, school district governing boards and district administrators must follow the law, but they also have the additional task of setting the educational priorities for their schools and weighing the importance and urgency of all of their education needs.
An inter-district transfer/reciprocal agreement is when parents/guardians wish to register/admit/enroll their student(s) at a school other than the designated school that is in their attendance area outside of their district.
Intra-District permits are required for students who do not attend their school of residence. Reasons for a permit are listed at the bottom of the permit form. Please be aware granted permits are subject to cancellation at any time during the school year if enrollment exceeds maximum class size.
Processing permits may take anywhere from a couple of weeks to 30 days or longer, depending on the time of year. Usually, renewals and new requests take longer to process during March and April, July and August. It could take up to 2 months from date submitted.
4. Is there a deadline to submit a new permit request for the coming school year?
No. However, we start accepting permits for the following school year in mid-January, usually after winter, not before. Permit requests for TK or a significantly impacted school will be placed on a waitlist. Parents will be notified, if and when, space becomes available to enroll at requested school.
5. What documents are required for processing a permit?
Based on the reason for the permit, there are instances whereas additional documentation is required to support the reason for requesting a permit. Student Support Services will inform parents what additional documents are needed. It is the parents’ responsibility to submit required documentation in order to process their permit in a timely fashion.
6. Are permits valid all year?
An approved permit is valid during the current school year as long as the conditions remain the same. If a student who was granted a permit moves into a different residence area, their current permit becomes invalid. Parents would need to apply for a new permit.
Students must obtain an interdistrict permit to attend a school outside their District of Residence.
