Process:

• The parent must fill out the intra-district permit paper application and gather the required documents. Upon completion, the parent would contact the School of Residence.
• The application must be signed, stamped, and dated by the administrator at the School of Residence. If approval/sign off is provided, the parent would then take the information to the requested/desired LAUSD school.
• Upon administrative approval at the requested school, the student may register.
• Intra-district permits must be approved by both schools involved.
• If the request is denied, the parent has the right to appeal. Parents will be informed of appeal procedures by the school which denied the request.

Additional Information:

• Intra-district permits must be renewed annually only by the requested school. Release from the School of Residence is not required annually.
• A separate application must be submitted and approved for each student.
• Intra-district permits do not carry transportation privileges.
• Students are expected to be on time and in school for the full school day.

For intra-district permit requests in or out of a Zone of Choice, the assigned school or the zone office is authorized to sign the permit application as the resident or requested school, as applicable.

Approval from the LAUSD School of Residence does not guarantee that the request will be approved by the requested LAUSD school.

The intra-district permit application period is open all year, starting on February 1st for the next school year.

Intra-district permits can be requested based upon one of the following reasons:

• Parent Employment
• Specialized Program
• Continuing Enrollment
• Sibling
• Childcare
• Safety and Protection
• Exception

Required documents will vary, depending on the type of permit requested.

Denials, cancellations or revocations of intra-district permits are not reviewed by the Office of Permits and Student Transfers. Intra-district permit appeals are handled by the Operations Office at each Local District.

Parents have the right to appeal the denial of an intra-district permit if they believe that an exception to district policy is warranted or that their circumstances fall within district guidelines. All appeals must be submitted in writing.
