INTRA-District: I understand that transfers are not guaranteed and are based upon space availability.
School Sports: I understand that transfers are subject to California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) regulations. Please contact the athletic director at the school you are requesting to learn how this transfer will affect your child's athletic eligibility.
I understand that if a transfer is approved, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to provide transportation for the student. If the parent applies for bus transportation for their child through the "Empty Seat Program", and space is available, the student may utilize these services if approved. If seating space is required for an eligible student any time during the school year, your child may lose their bus riding privileges.
I understand my transfer may be revoked through the School Attendance Review Board (SARB) due to excessive absences, tardies, or is brought to school excessively early and/or left excessively late.
I understand that students must be enrolled in their school of residence while pending transfer approval. If you are unsure as to your “school of residence", you may use our district website www.psusd.us “Find My School."
I understand that transfer requests are managed through a lottery system.
I understand that if the student is in Special Education, the transfer request will be determined by the Special Ed Department.
I understand that all permits are subject to review at any time should class overloads occur. Permits may be cancelled if continuance would lead to an enrollment overload as defined by district staffing level or California Law. Ed Code AR 5116.1
