Request period for MDUSD intradistrict transfers opens Oct. 15

By The Pioneer 5 years ago

Mt. Diablo Unified School District provides school options for all students K-12. To determine your child’s school of residence visit MDUSD school.

Elementary school application period starts in February 2020.

Intradistrict transfers are for students who reside within the MDUSD boundaries and would like to request transfer to another MDUSD school.  The transfer request period for request for the 2020-2021 school year is Oct. 15 – Nov. 15 for students who are currently enrolled in grades 6-11.  The online form is available on the Student Services transfer information webpage.

At some schools there is not enough space available for every student who applies. In order to assign these seats fairly, applications submitted during the transfer window are given “priority,” and all applications received during this time period are randomly sorted in order of “priority” placement.

The order of priority for students applying for an intradistrict transfer:

The priorities are ranked 1-6, with 1 receiving the highest placement on the enrollment list.  All of these are based on space availability and only resident status is guaranteed. Space availability is be determined by current enrollment and is reviewed annually.

 

Priority Description Points for Consideration for Approval of Transfer Request
#1 Siblings Intradistrict Transfer Requests from siblings of students currently enrolled in a school of request. Siblings must share a year at the same school.
#2 Employees Employees are currently defined in board policy as follows: Students whose parent/guardian is assigned to that school as his/her primary place of employment. Priority criteria will only apply for the duration of the parent/guardian’s employment at that site. Employees to be eligible hereunder must have a regular assignment of 10 hours per week or more.
#3 Resident Agreement Schools Students residing in a neighborhood where attendance has been established by agreement (such as Monte Gardens Elementary, Sequoia Elementary and Sequoia Middle)
#4 Cohort Changing Levels A cohort is defined as a group of students moving from one level to another. For example, Riverview to Mt. Diablo High, Valley View to College Park, El Dorado to Concord High, and Foothill to Northgate. It also includes the various feeder patterns traveling from elementary school to middle schools.
#5 Academic Programs Academic program pathways include a continuation of a specialized program such as International Baccalaureate or Dual Immersion.
#6 Choice The public school choice (Choice) program under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) was phased out in the 2017–18 school year due to the implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Beginning with the current 2018–19 school year, school district were no longer required to provide transportation to students who transferred to non-program improvement schools under the NCLB Choice program. In addition, districts may allow such students to remain in the schools of choice until they complete the highest grade level in that school.  Read more.
