Proof of residency, acceptable documents are listed below:

• Property tax payment receipts.

Student Transfers

The Tulare Joint Union High School District administration and governing board of trustees recognize that the families and students we serve sometimes have special needs and desires. In that regard, we have instituted policies and procedures to provide for certain attendance requests which supersede the school selection determined by the residence of the student. The board has established policies that outline the criteria used for determining approval of inter-district and intra-district transfer requests and established a deadline each school year for submission of those requests prior to the end of the preceding school year.

Education Code Section 48980(j) requires that schools notify parents/guardians each school year in regards to the current statutory and local attendance and programmatic options within the school district. That information is provided at the time of request for a transfer. Unless restricted by board policy related to racial/ethnic balance and campus capacity, students may elect to apply for attendance at one or a combination of the schools or programs offered for the impending school year.

Inter-District Requests to Attend Tulare Joint Union High School District

Inter-district transfers to attend a school of Tulare Joint Union High School District are processed on a continuing basis and approved for one year at a time and must be renewed annually, permitting space is available. The criteria for an inter-district transfer request to attend Tulare Joint Union High School District includes good grades, discipline, and attendance. Applications for inter-district attendance permit forms are available from the student’s resident district and require approval from the resident district prior to submitting the request to our district office.

Although students generally must attend school in the district where their residency has been established, the board of trustees recognizes justifiable reasons for occasional inter-district transfers. The superintendent or designee may approve inter-district attendance agreements with other districts on a case-by-case basis to meet individual student needs. Students who reside outside the Tulare Joint Unified School District boundaries may apply for enrollment in our district. Decisions on the intra-district transfers will be made first in order to determine how much space is available, if any, at each of the sites for inter-district transfers. Upon request, our district may accept students from another district and may also allow students who live within the district to attend out-of-district schools.
