Interdistrict Attendance
Interdistrict Attendance for 2026-27 School Year
Interdistrict attendance is the process of requesting to attend a school district in which you do not reside. Interdistrict agreements can be incoming (you want your child to attend school in Denair but you do not live in our boundaries) or outgoing (you live in Denair's boundaries but want your child to attend school somewhere else).
Interdistrict Transfers require approval from BOTH districts in order to be valid. Each district has their own timeline and process.
For the 2026-27 school year, the Denair Unified School District Interdistrict Transfer request period will open on January 5, 2026.
Interdistrict Transfer requests for the 2026-27 school year are due on or before March 1, 2026.
- On-time renewals will be processed first, including new requests for siblings entering TK or K.
- On-time new requests will be processed after on-time renewals.
- Late renewals and new requests (after March 1) will only be considered in special circumstances.
- Renewals and requests received after May 22, 2026 (last day of the 2025-26 school year), will be processed in late July.
IMPORTANT: Education Code 48307 and BP/AR 5117 allow the district to limit transfers to 3% of their prior year's ADA. At this time, DUSD exceeds the statutory requirement and is under no obligation to approve Interdistrict Transfer requests, including Allen Bill requests.

- Childcare needs: a signed letter from the childcare provider, including physical address, attesting to services provided with the boundaries of the requested district and a current receipt/invoice for services. (For elementary school only)
3. In order to adequately plan classes and instructional services for the next school year, Interdistrict Request/Agreement forms are due on March 1 of the year preceding the requested transfer. Forms received after this date will only be considered in special circumstances
