Inter District Transfer Requests

If you live outside the Byron Union School District area and wish to attend school within Byron Union School District boundaries, a parent or legal guardian may apply for an Inter District Transfer request from the District of Residence. Applications will be reviewed for approval by the District of Residence.

If approved by the school district of residence, the request will be forwarded to Byron USD for review. If the transfer is approved by Byron USD, the parent/guardian will be notified via e-mail. If approved, please be prepared to provide the required records (listed below) for the past two (2) years via email to kedwards@byron.k12.ca.us

  • Transcripts and/or report cards

  • Attendance records

  • Behavior/Discipline

  • If Receiving Services - Copy of the 504 or IEP plan

* All transfers are granted based on space and program availability in the requested school.  Availability is determined by current and projected enrollment needs. 

** Transportation will not be provided for students who chose to attend outside their boundary school except as required by 20 USC 6316.

If you live within the Byron Union School District area and wish your student(s) to attend school in another School District, a parent or legal guardian must complete a Byron USD Inter-District Transfer Request Form.

Inter District Transfer Request Form

Signed and completed forms need to be submitted to kedwards@byron.k12.ca.us
Please make sure the words Interdistrict Transfer Request are in the subject line.

In addition, appropriate documentation MUST be submitted with the completed Request Form. Documentation required includes:

  • Proof of employment within the requesting District (i.e. copy of employee ID badge or paystub)

  • Verification of childcare and/or transportation (i.e. written statement that includes provider name, address, and phone number along with a specific description of the services provided for your student(s))

This documentation is necessary for consideration of the request. Transfers without appropriate documentation will be denied.

Approved transfers will be automatically forwarded to the requested district for processing. You will be contacted via email regarding any transfer that is denied.

You will receive confirmation from Byron USD once the Superintendent signs the Requests Form.

Students must be enrolled to have their transfers considered.  If you haven’t registered your student, please start the process at your student’s school of residence, which is their boundary school.  If you don’t know which school is your boundary school, please click here. 

PLEASE NOTE:  Your Inter District Transfer Requests need to be approved by both your resident school district and district of choice before enrolling in school. Please do not enroll/disenroll your student until you have received final confirmation from both districts.

Inter-District Transfer Requests must be submitted Annually for Approval.

Inter-district Transfer requests are reviewed annually and can be denied/revoked for a number of reasons:

  • Approval would risk the district’s enrollment in the student’s grade or specialized instructional programs to exceed capacity. No Space/Grade/Program Impacted/ CCCOE AR 5200 G (10)

  • Student was previously expelled or is currently under consideration for expulsion

  • Unsatisfactory behavior records as evidenced by office or class referrals

  • Unsatisfactory attendance as evidenced by school attendance records or SARB referral

  • For such other unusual circumstances which, in the discretion of the Superintendent or designee, justify the denial of the permit

  • Other: The number of student transfers out of the district to a school district of choice has reached the limit specified in Education Code 48307 based on the district’s average daily attendance.

Intra District Transfer Requests

If you live within the Byron Union School District area and wish to attend another school within Byron USD boundaries, a parent or legal guardian may apply for an Intra District Transfer Request.

Once a student is placed at a school through the Intradistrict Transfer process, the student will not need to reapply on an annual basis as long as they are continuing at the same school.
