District of Choice Facts The governing board of any school district may elect to accept interdistrict transfers under the “District of Choice” provision authorized under California Education Code sections 48300 through 48316. Under this provision, the school district of choice determines the number of transfer pupils it is willing to accept and must ensure that pupils admitted are selected through a random, unbiased process that prohibits an evaluation of whether or not the pupil should be enrolled based on his or her academic or athletic performance. Applications for transfer under this provision must be received by January 1 of the subsequent school year for which the pupil is requesting a transfer. The deadline for final written notice of transfer acceptance and rejection is February 15. The board has until May 1 to fill vacancies on a wait list, and no students are accepted after May 1. School districts of choice must give first priority for attendance to siblings of children already in attendance in the district, second priority to students eligible for free or reduced-price meals, and third priority to children of military personnel. (Education Code § 48306.) For more information, please call 707-857-3410 or email smarckx@gusd.com |
