Please complete an Intradistrict Transfer Form and submit the form to the OUSD Enrollment Office.

     

    • District transportation will not be provided.
    • Approval will be granted on the basis of space availability after families who live in the attendance area are placed.
    • Approval may be revoked at any time if the student fails to comply with school attendance, student performance and discipline policies.
    • If there are more students desiring a transfer than space allows, a lottery will be held. After all school resident students are enrolled, the order for placement is:
      1. Student is currently attending the school due to a previously approved transfer or having resided in the attendance area immediately prior to this request.
      2. Student’s parent is a permanent employee of Orcutt Union School District.
      3. Student has a sibling attending the school during the same academic year.

    Intradistrict Transfer Request Form

  • Interdistrict Transfer Requests
    Students who live outside the boundaries of Orcutt Union School District and wish to attend a school in the Orcutt Union School District may apply for a transfer during Open Enrollment.  Interdistrict transfers expire after a five year term.  Students that are on an interdistrict transfer and transferring from Elementary to Junior High must reapply during the Open Enrollment period. The Open Enrollment period for Interdistrict Transfer Requests is from March 1st through April 15th. Applications for Interdistrict Transfers are available at your school district of residence. Once your district of residence has released your student(s), you may apply to attend the Orcutt Union School District. Due to space limitations, only a very limited number of new transfers are accepted by Orcutt Union School District each year. Interdistrict students are placed only after all Intradistrict Transfer Requests have been granted.

    Students attending on an interdistrict transfer are expected to maintain satisfactory grades, attendance, and citizenship.  Students who fail to meet these standards can, and will, have their transfers rescinded.  When this happens, the student will need to return to their school district of residence.

    • Satisfactory grades are determined as a passing grade (C or above) in the subject areas of Math, English Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies.
    • Satisfactory attendance is determined by an attendance rate of 95% or above.
    • Satisfactory citizenship is determined by no suspensions.

     

    Students who live in the Orcutt Union School District but wish to attend a school in another district may enter into an Interdistrict Transfer Agreement between Orcutt Union School District and the school district of choice. Please complete the Interdistrict Transfer Form below and bring it to the Enrollment Office for verification. Once approved, the form would be taken to the district of choice. The receiving district may or may not accept the transfer.

    Parents will be notified in writing of Interdistrict Transfer decisions. Additional information regarding Interdistrict Transfers may be found in Board Policy 5117-BP Interdistrict Attendance located in the Series 5000 section of the Board Policies & Administrative Regulations page.
