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.

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.
