PURPOSE:	To authorize and establish procedures for the admission and attendance of students in a district other than the student’s district of residence.

Notwithstanding Board Policy No. 5111.1 – District Residency/Student Residence and Enrollment, the Board recognizes that students and families have unique needs deserving special consideration and authorizes the Superintendent to establish an administrativeregulation providing for the attendance of students in a district other than the student’s district of residence.

The Board authorizes the Administrator of Student Services and Student Attendance (SSSA) or designee to enter into agreements with other school districts on behalf of the Board which provide for the attendance of students in schools other than in the student’s district of residence and the related transfers of students out of and into the District.

The Administrator of SSSA or designee is authorized, for a period not to exceed two school months, to provisionally admit to the schools of the District astudent who resides in anotherschool district pending a decision by the concerned districts or by the Fresno County Board of Education on appeal.

Approval of an Interdistrict Transfer Attendance Permit shall be subject to capacity as defined in Board Policy No. 7110.2 – School Capacity Parameters at the receiving school. A student who is not a resident of the District shall not attend a school in the District unless otherwise permitted by law or District board policies.

An Interdistrict Transfer Attendance Permit shall not be approved when the requested attendance is likely to displace the attendance of a student who resides within the District.

The parent/guardian is generally responsible for providing transportation for the student to and from the requested school of attendance. Information related to student transportation is set out in Board Policies No. 3250, 3540, and 3541.

All requests for transfers must be submitted in writing and signed by the parent/guardian. Transfers are to be approved for one school year and must be renewed annually unless otherwise provided.

Authorization or approval by the District of a student’s inter-district transfer does not result in the student obtaining inter-district transfer eligibility for District interscholastic athletics. Following a student’s inter-district transfer into a District school, the determination of the student’s inter-district transfer eligibility for interscholastic athletics will require a separate review in accordance with Board Policy No. 6145 – Co-Curricular and Extra-Curricular.

Parents/guardians wishing a review and/or an appeal of a denied inter-district transfer decision may do so in writing to the Administrator of SSSA or designee within 30 calendar days. On final determination of the internal appeal, parents/guardians wishing a review and/or appeal of an inter-district transfer decision will present such a request to the Fresno County Board of Education within 30 calendar days of the failure or refusal to issue a permit for final determination.
