Intra-District Transfers
The
CUSD Board of Education endorses the neighborhood school concept. The
Board recognizes, however, that parents may wish to choose a school of
attendance other than their neighborhood school. The Board of Education
believes that parental choice should be included as an integral feature
of a well-rounded educational environment.
Neighborhood
school attendance areas are established to optimize use of existing
facilities. Requests for intra-district transfers may be made because of
personal preference based on many different reasons including special
programs, needs of the family or child, after-school activities,
instructional philosophy, location, specific child or family needs, etc.
These requests are approved on a space available basis on set
dates (e.g., the beginning of the school year or the beginning of a
semester). If approved, the parent will assume responsibility for all
transportation of the student to and from school.
Students
who transfer from one high school to another during their four years of
schooling may have eligibility problems concerning athletics. Parents
and students should contact the athletic directors before assuming that
the student is automatically eligible to participate.

Inter-District Transfers
The
District has a primary responsibility to meet the educational needs of
students residing inside the Chico Unified School District boundaries
with a parent, legal guardian or other person having legal control or
charge of the student and, under specified conditions, a responsibility
to meet the educational needs of some students residing outside the
District's boundaries.
Students
residing outside the District who meet District residency requirements
may be allowed to enroll in District schools. Consistent with
California Education Code provisions, a student residing outside a given
school district's boundaries may meet the State's residency
requirements for that district and may be legally enrolled. Residency
requirements for the C.U.S.D. may be met by a non-district student:
-
who
is placed inside school district boundaries in a regularly established
licensed children's institution, or a licensed foster home or a family
home, pursuant to the Welfare and Institutions Code;
-
for whom an inter-district student attendance agreement has been approved;
-
whose
residence is located within the boundaries of the District and whose
parent/legal guardian is relieved of responsibility, control and
authority through emancipation;
-
whose
parent/legal guardian has established the residence of the student in a
properly licensed home located within the District's boundaries;
-
who is residing in a state hospital located within the boundaries of the District.
-
who
is elementary school age and one or both of her/his parents/legal
guardians is employed within the boundaries of the District.
To
appropriately meet the needs of all students, the District will
consider each written Inter-District Student Attendance Application that
is submitted by a parent or legal guardian. Parents/legal guardians
residing within the CUSD attendance boundaries who wish their child to
attend a school outside the District boundaries or parents/legal
guardians residing outside the CUSD attendance boundaries who wish their
child to attend a CUSD school may submit an Inter-District Student
Attendance Application. Transportation will generally not be provided
for students on inter-district agreements
