    2023-2024 School Year (one School District to another School District)

    The application remains open for all incoming permit requests and outgoing requests based upon parent employment.  

     

    Background
    California Education Code Section 46600 allows for the transfer of students from their district of residence to another school district for any grade from transitional kindergarten/kindergarten through grade 12 under conditions specified by the policy of the board of education. At the request of the parent, an inter-district permit may be granted for a student to transfer out of the school district of residence or into a school district of proposed enrollment.

    Purpose
    The Office of Permits and Student Transfers is responsible for the review and processing of all inter-district permit requests, either entering or leaving the LAUSD. School site officials cannot grant, deny or revoke inter-district permits for any student, including those with disabilities.

    Inter-District Permit Requests
     
    If you are a resident of th LAUSD (live within LAUSD school boundaries) and would like to attend another LAUSD school, please follow the Intra-District Permit Process.
     
    Incoming Inter-District Permit (Entering LAUSD)
    Students may be granted to attend a school in the LAUSD, instead of their District of Residence. These types of permits are processed by the Office of Permits and Student Transfers and require release from the District of Residence and acceptance by the desired LAUSD school.

    The incoming inter-district permit application period is open all year long, starting on February 1st for the following school year. Applications must be submitted online. Paper applications will not be accepted. 
     
    Families requesting an incoming inter-district permit should not check out of their current school/District of Residence until final approval has been granted. LAUSD schools, at their discretion, may provisionally enroll incoming students if space is available. Enrollment is prioritized for resident LAUSD students. 
     
    Please contact your District of Residence to inquire about independent study options.
