Interdistrict and Intradistrict Transfers

The Chawanakee Unified School District offers an Interdistrict Transfer option to meet the educational needs of students and families.  Chawanakee Unified believes that most student needs can be bet by their school of residence.  All new and renewal Interdistrict Transfer requests must be submitted to the District Office.
 
Interdistrict Transfers: (Students living outside of Chawanakee Unified School District boundaries requesting to attend a Chawanakee Unified School)
  • Incoming Interdistrict transfers are approved for one year at a time and are subject to annual review based on space availability
  • If your student attended a Chawanakee school on an approved Interdistrict transfer this year, renewal for the following year is not guaranteed
  • Renewal applications must be submitted each year through the district of residence
  • New applicants must first apply for an Interdistrict Transfer through their district of residence
    • If approved, the district of residence will forward the transfer agreement to Chawanakee Unified
    • Chawanakee will then approve or deny the request based on space availability
 
Approved transfers are subject to review of attendance, behavior, and academic performance.  Transfer may be revoked if these criteria are not met.
Please note: If the requested school is full, an alternative Chawanakee Unified school may be offered.
 
Process
  • Interdistrict Transfer applications are accepted/processed on an ongoing basis
  • Interdistrict Transfer requests to attend a school within the Chawanakee Unified School  District must start with an application signed by the parent/guardian's district of residence.  Contact your district of residence for an application.   
 
Application Decision
  • Interdistrict Transfer applications will be reviewed and the family notified of the decision to accept or deny an application by phone or email and a formal written notification will be mailed to the parent or guardian
 
Once a transfer is approved, families must contact the new school within 10 school days to complete enrollment.  Failure to do so may result in the transfer being voided if space is no longer available
  • Decisions to accept or deny an Interdistrict Transfer application are based on several factors to include available space at requested school, specialized needs of the student, and an evaluation of the student's attendance, behavior, and academic progress.

Transfer Cancellations
Interdistrict Transfers may be canceled, revoked, or denied renewal for the following reasons:
 1. Falsified information on documentation
 2. Unsatisfactory attendance, academic performance, or behavior
 3. Student consistently dropped of or picked up beyond regular school hours to include before and       after school programs 
 4. District of school available space    
 
Please fill out the appropriate form from your District of Residence and return to your District of Residence office for processing.  If leaving the Chawanakee Unified School District please fill out the form below and turn in to Melanie Burton:  [email protected]
