С¸£Àûµ¼º½residents attending a BUSD Public School applying to other districts
The Governing Board recognizes that students who reside in one district may request to attend school in another district and that such choices are made for a variety of reasons. Requests for residents of the district to attend school in another school district shall be granted except in extraordinary circumstances as determined by the Superintendent or designee. The Board believes the educational experience available to inter-district students is a privilege.
С¸£Àûµ¼º½residents not attending a BUSD Public School applying to other districts
Students who are С¸£Àûµ¼º½residents currently attending school in another district may request a continuing inter district permit to remain at the current out of district school.
Non-С¸£Àûµ¼º½residents wanting to enroll in BUSD
Students who are not С¸£Àûµ¼º½residents may request to be considered in С¸£Àûµ¼º½schools on an Inter-District Permit, if approved by the school district where they live. Please note that approval from your district of residence does not guarantee BUSD approval. If approved by BUSD, Inter-district permits must be renewed each school year. However, no student attending on an Inter-District Permit will be placed until the permit renewal is received. Under Berkeley’s enrollment system, priority for enrollment is given to all С¸£Àûµ¼º½residents before inter-district students are admitted. As a result, permits are limited.
