Shine Brighter with School Choices!

What is an intra-district transfer request?

• The intra-district transfer procedure is the method in which a student can request to attend a school outside his or her school of residence attendance boundary. 

• Intra-District transfers are available only to students who reside in Moreno Valley Unified School District (MVUSD). 

• Parents or guardians may submit an Intra-District Transfer request to have your student attend a school that they are not assigned to according to your address.

Timelines

• The Open Enrollment period for filing transfers for the next school year begins the first school day after Winter Recess and closes the second Friday in March.

• Notification of decisions on transfers for traditional schools filed during the open enrollment period will be made by the last Friday in June.

• A student approved for a transfer must begin attendance two days of the start of a new school year or within two weeks after the date of approval during the school year or the transfer will become void.

Eligibility

Per the 1994 Parental Choice Law, intra-district transfer approvals are based on the number of requests received versus the number of spaces available. If more intra-district transfers are received than there are spaces available, the seats will be filled using a random unbiased drawing method.

A transfer is contingent upon the general procedures and rules on which transfers are granted.
(For additional information, please see Administrative Regulations 5116.1 or Administrative Policies 5116.1)

• High school students must adhere to the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) rules governing transferring from one high school to another. Contact your home high school to be apprised of the most recent rules.

• Parents/Guardians will furnish transportation at their expense for their child to attend the school requested.

• An approved transfer will be reviewed annually to assure that the transfer continues to meet these guidelines and the district regulations for transfers.

• When changing school levels (elementary to middle; middle to high), a new transfer must be filed.

• A transfer is approved in accordance with the Administrative Regulations 5116.1 and the student should abide by all school rules and procedures.

• A student may have the transfer revoked and be transferred back to the school of residence for any of the following reasons:

1. Falsifying information (for example: Residence/Address)
