Interdistrict Transfers
An Interdistrict Transfer is an agreement for students to attend school in a district other than their district of residence. The administration of each district decides whether to approve or deny these requests. THE REVIEW PROCESS BY BOTH DISTRICTS MAY TAKE UP TO 30 DAYS.

For what reasons may the district approve outgoing interdistrict transfer requests?

How long will it take for the district to notify me if the transfer was approved or denied?
For interdistrict transfer requests received 15 days or less before school begins, we will notify you of our decision within 30 days of receiving your request. For interdistrict transfer requests received 15 days or more before school begins, we will notify you of our decision as soon as possible but no later than 14 days after school begins.
If approved - We will call you then forward the transfer to your requested district. Once both districts have approved the transfer, the transfer is valid for five years or until the student changes schools.
If denied - We will call you then send you a letter with a copy of the denied transfer and the process for submitting an appeal.
Can the district revoke my child's interdistrict transfer once it has been approved?
Yes, for any of the reasons listed below.
- A pupil does not maintain a 95% attendance rate or SART/SARB has been held
- A pupil does not maintain satisfactory grades
- A pupil has a behavior support plan or has committed a suspendable offense
- A pupil is recommended for expulsion
- The district determines that information on the application is inaccurate, valid, falsified or no longer applies.
How do I transfer my child into a school within the Robla School District?
Submit an Application for Interdistrict Transfer to the administration of the school district where you reside. Contact them and ask about their process and timelines. If they approve the transfer, they will forward it to us for review. If they deny the transfer, they will notify you.
For what reasons may the Robla School District deny incoming interdistrict transfer requests?
- Overcrowding in the requested grade level
- Limited district resources
- Unsatisfactory student grades, attendance, or behavior
- Other reasonable considerations
Intradistrict Transfers (Open Enrollment)
An intradistrict transfer/open enrollment is a transfer that parents/guardians submit when they wish to enroll their student(s) at a school other than the designated school in their attendance area within their district.
Parents/guardians may submit their Open Enrollment requests to their child's current school of attendance beginning May 15 for the following school year. Open Enrollment requests are reviewed by administrators during the first week of August and approved only if space is available at the requested school. Transportation to the transfer school is not guaranteed.
