Inter/Intra District Transfers

While parents and students generally desire to attend the school in their area of residence, the California Education Code and policies of the Roseville City School District’s Board of Education do allow options for students wanting to attend a school outside their established attendance area. Based on the provisions of the law and the applicable Board policies, the Roseville City School District presents the following information.

What is an Inter/Intra District Transfer? 

• Intra-District: Students who reside inside the Roseville City School District Boundaries who desire to attend a school outside of their resident home school boundaries. 
• Inter-District: Students who reside outside of the Roseville City School District boundaries who desire to attend a school within the Roseville City School District OR students who reside inside the Roseville City School District boundaries who desire to attend a school in another outside district. 

Inter/Intra-District Transfer Agreement

Conditions for Inter/Intra-District Transfer Agreements

1. The student will maintain good attendance, and the Parent/Guardian shall see that the student is not tardy and is picked up on time after school dismissal.
2. The student will maintain proper behavior as determined by the principal of the school of attendance.
3. Transportation of the student is the responsibility of the Parent/Guardian.
4. Any falsification or omission of required information may result in a transfer revocation.
5. All transfer students must keep their contact information up to date with their school site.
6. Intra-district transfer students on an approved transfer who complete a full school year at their requested school, do not need to reapply annually for readmission (home address must remain the same). Students will be able to remain at the requested school as long as the previous conditions are met. *See exceptions listed:
   • Exception #1: Students completing their final year at their elementary school on an approved intra-district transfer, who wish to attend a different middle school other than their assigned residential middle school, must submit a new-intra request via the Parent Portal.
   • Exception #2: Transitional Kindergarten (TK) students on an approved intra-district transfer, must submit a new intra-district request via the Parent Portal to continue attending for Kindergarten through the end of elementary school. 
   • Exception #3: Families moving into another school boundary of residence, must submit a new-intra request via the Parent Portal.
7. Inter-district transfer students (those who reside outside the Roseville City School District) will need to reapply every five (5) years and upon entering middle school.
   • Exception: A new inter-district transfer request is needed IF the student(s) is requesting to attend another school, other than the school they were initially approved for.

Contingency: Decisions are based on current enrollment projections. If class size reaches capacity under the District/State criteria, students on attendance agreements may have to return to their school of residence.

If any of the conditions outlined above are violated, at any point, your transfer may be subject to revocation.

Transportation
