Interdistrict Transfer

Transferring To & From BRSSD

Transferring out of BRSSD:

• Students who live within the boundaries of BRSSD and would like to attend school in another district must first submit a BRSSD Interdistrict Transfer Request to the BRSSD Registration Services office. Transfers must be approved by BRSSD before submission to the district desired.

Transferring into BRSSD:

• California mandates that students attend the public school district in which the residency of the parent/guardian is located, called the District of Residence. Parent/guardian whose residence is outside of BRSSD boundaries, and desires their student to attend a school in BRSSD, must first obtain an Interdistrct Transfer approval from their District of Residence. If the District of Residence approves the Interdistrict Transfer, it will be sent to BRSSD for processing.

• BRSSD will begin accepting and processing Interdistict Transfer requests for the following school year on the first working day of January following the Winter Break of the current school year.

• BRSSD will notify parent/guardian of its final decision within the following timeframes:

  • Request for transfer during current year: within 30 calendar days from the date the Interdistrict Transfer request was received.

  • Request for transfer for the coming year: within 30 calendar days from the date the Interdistrict Transfer request was received.

• Failure of a parent/guardian to meet any timelines established by the district shall be deemed an abandonment of the request.

• Should it be determined, subsequent to a student’s enrollment, that the student demonstrates significant problems in attendance, performance, or behavior, the Interdistrict Transfer approval may be rescinded at any time during the term of the agreement. Board Policy 5117-Interdistrict Attendance
