Registration must first be completed at your current home school. The initial review of transfer decisions will not begin until mid-March and will continue through the start of school in August. This allows us the opportunity to process new registrations, which in turn helps us determine open spaces. Transfers are not approved until we are sure of enrollment at each site. Neighborhood children have priority at their neighborhood schools.

The Interdistrict Transfer process applies to those parents who wish their children to attend a school in a district other than that in which they reside. 

• All Interdistrict requests must be initiated in the district of residence. Please contact your district of residence for interdistrict transfer information. 

• The initial review of transfer decisions will not begin until mid-March and will continue through the start of school in August. This allows us the opportunity to process new registrations, which in turn helps us determine open spaces.

Once admitted to Union School District, all Interdistrict transfers are valid for a term not to exceed five years, unless noted otherwise, but then the student will need to reapply for middle school. An approved interdistrict agreement must be in effect between the district of residence and the school district of desired attendance before a student can attend the desired school.  

We are not able to provide the status of a pending application. Notifications will be sent in writing once a decision has been made.

The following conditions apply:

• Students admitted to Union School District under the interdistrict agreement shall be assigned to schools where space is available at the discretion and determination of USD administration.

• Once a student is approved for an interdistrict transfer, you will not need to apply yearly for an interdistrict transfer. However, Union School District requires students to maintain standards in acceptable behavior, attendance (including tardies and late pick-ups) and academic progress. Should these standards not be met, the interdistrict agreement could be denied or revoked.

• We accept inter-district transfer requests based on the following:

  • • employment within USD boundaries (verification of employment required)

    • child care within USD boundaries (verification of location of CC required)

    • hardship

    • future or past residence in USD

    • last year privilege

• When requesting an interdistrict transfer for a student in grades 1 through 8, please submit the most recent report card with the transfer.

• USD’s primary priority and responsibility is to make sure all students residing within USD boundaries have a place in their neighborhood school, therefore, lack of space could necessitate a denial or could require a change in school attendance after the start of school or the interdistrict agreement could be revoked.

• If your student receives special education services, we need a copy of the most recent IEP before your request can be processed. 

• Should your district of residence change mid-year, a new interdistrict transfer would be required.

• If an interdistrict transfer agreement request is denied, the parent/guardian has the opportunity to appeal the decision to the Santa Clara County Office of Education within 30 calendar days of the date of the denial. 

• A student, parent, or guardian who provides a false and/or other pertinent data as a basis for enrollment in any school in the District may have the transfer revoked. The revocation may be immediate and notice promptly given to the student and parent/guardian.

For current USD students who are requesting to attend schools in another district, they may obtain an Interdistrict Transfer Agreement form from the USD District Office or below. Supporting documentation must be submitted with your application or it will delay processing.

Applications are submitted digitally through the link below using InformedK12.

• Interdistrict Transfer Permit Request Form | Spanish

• Board Policy 5117 Interdistrict Attendance

• Administrative Regulation 5117 Interdistrict Attendance

In 2014, the USD Board approved Dual Enrollment Zones to allow parents to have more choice in their child’s attendance, to balance site sizes and to allow students to attend sites closer to their homes, without changing school boundaries.

If you reside in one of the zones on the map, you may choose between either site as listed below and register with that school. When a family selects one of the schools in their dual zone, that school becomes their home school. If one of the sites becomes full during the registration window, a newly registered family will then be assigned to another site that has space availability. 

Please look up your address to determine if your neighborhood school is in an area that is eligible.

Initial grade placement of enrolling students shall be based on chronological age, unless the student is transferring from another public school districts in U.S., case initial placement will be at the grade level the student would have been in at his/her prior school.

If the grade shown while completing online registration is different from that prescribed by your student’s current or past school grade, please complete registration and provide evidence to the registration of successful grade completion, or existing grade enrollment, from previous schools (such as a report card, or an existing enrollment report, or transcripts, etc.).

If no evidence is provided, the student will be placed in the grade listed during online registration.

Students who come from other countries, who come from private schools within the United States, or who have not been in school for two or more years, are initially placed according to their age. If a student has completed the grade corresponding to chronological age at a private school, the school team will request supporting evidence that student has successfully completed the grade and will follow the district acceleration process.
