**PLEASE NOTE: REGARDING ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY

Authorization or approval by the District of a student’s inter-district transfer, intra-district transfer, or open enrollment transfer does not result in the student obtaining inter-district or intra-district transfer eligibility for District interscholastic athletics. Following a student’s inter-district or intra-district transfer into a District school, the determination of the student’s inter-district or intra-district transfer eligibility for interscholastic athletics will be based upon the requirements, standards, and guidelines set forth in Administrative Regulation 6145.

Pursuant to Education Code section 35179 and article 2, section 23 of CIF’s Constiution, the District has established its own standards for student eligibility for interscholastic athletics following a seventh through twelfth student’s intradistrict transfer from one District school to another District school through the District’s open enrollment or other intradistrict transfer process.  The standards for such eligibility are set forth in District Administrative Regularion (AR)6145.

The student’s area of attendance is established by the District elementary school student attends during the second semester of the sixth-grade scholl year.  Upon entering the seventh grade of the intermediate school of student’s attendance area (th alighned intermediate school), the student has initial enrollment.

Any seventh trough twelfth grade student who transfers from on District school to another District school shall be ineligible for athletic participation for 365 days from the date of first attendance within the District at the student’s new school.

Any and all questions regarding athletic eligibility should be referred to the Athletic Director of the receiving school.

General Transfer Information

Every transfer type has different rules.  The information below applies to all transfers.

  • Processing time varies depending on the type of transfer, the volume of requests, and student records requests.
  • Students must be in good standing to qualify for a transfer. All transfers are subject to review of the student’s attendance, behavior, and academic records.
  • All transfers are subject to space availability at the school, grade level and/or specialized program need.
  • Resident student enrollments will take priority over transfer students.  It is against California Education Code to approve a transfer student if they will displace a resident student.
  • Enrollment in a requested school does not guarantee approval to remain at that school site for future years (Except for Open Enrollments).  Parents should be aware that if they are attending a school and then move out of that school’s attendance area, their transfer will not be approved if there is a transfer waitlist, students in that grade level have been overflowed to another school site, a specialized program is impacted, or the grade level is at capacity.
  • Interdistrict and Employment Based students, once approved, become residents of the district and not a specific school site.  They can be assigned to a different school.
  • All students are eligible to be overflowed to another school regardless of their transfer type.
