Interdistrict Attendance Agreements
The Superintendent or designee may
approve interdistrict attendance permits for the
following reasons:
1. To
meet the child care needs of a student (Education Code 46601.5)
Such
students may be allowed to continue to attend district schools only as long as
they continue to use a child care provider
within district boundaries.
2. To
meet a child's special mental or physical health needs as certified by a
physician, school psychologist or other appropriate
school personnel
3. When
a student has a sibling(s) attending school in the receiving district, to avoid
splitting the family's attendance
4. To
allow a student to complete a school year when his/her parents/guardians have
moved out of the district during that year
5. To
allow students to remain with a class graduating that year from an elementary, junior or senior high school
6. To
let seniors attend the same school they attended as juniors, even if their
families moved out of the district during the junior
year
7. When
the parent/guardian provides written evidence that the family will be moving to
the district in the immediate future and
would like the student to start the year in the district
8. When
a student will be living out of the district only for one year or less
9. When
recommended by the School Attendance Review Board or by county child welfare,
probation or social service agency
staff in documented cases of serious home or community problems which
make it inadvisable for the student to attend
the school of residence
10. When
there is valid interest in a particular educational program not offered in the
district of residence
11. To
provide a change in school environment for reasons of personal and social
adjustment
Interdistrict attendance permits or applications shall
not be required for students enrolling in a regional occupational center or
program. (Education Code 52317)
Every interdistrict
attendance permit shall stipulate the terms and conditions under which the
permit may be revoked. (Education Code 46600)
The Superintendent or designee may deny
initial requests for interdistrict attendance
agreements if the school's facilities are overcrowded at the relevant grade
level and based on other considerations that are not arbitrary. However, once a student is admitted based on
child care needs, his/her continued attendance may not be denied because of
overcrowding.
The Superintendent or designee shall
notify parents/guardians of a student who is denied interdistrict
attendance regarding the process for appeal to the
Students who are under consideration for
expulsion or who have been expelled may not appeal interdistrict
attendance denials or decisions while expulsion proceedings are pending, or
during the term of the expulsion.
