Families living within the boundaries of the district who wish to attend a school other than their neighborhood school (an intra-district permit), or families living outside of the boundaries of the district who wish to attend a Bonita Unified School (an inter-district permit), can submit a request for a transfer permit. To transfer into Bonita Unified you will need to request an Inter-district release from the district of residence.
The application process for the following school year begins each year on February 15 (or the next Monday if February 15 is on a weekend), then the application process remains open until three weeks before the last day of school.

REVIEW OF AN INITIAL REQUEST FOR ENROLLMENT USING A TRANSFER PERMIT
Applications for enrollment using a transfer permit are reviewed upon the initial request for a permit.
A request for a transfer permit may be denied for the following reasons:
If the attendance, academic, or discipline records of the student do not meet established criteria - permit criteria can be found here: TRANSFER PERMIT CRITERIA.
If the program or services required by a student's IEP do not exist within the district or are at capacity, or expected to reach capacity, at the time of the permit request.
If the grade level for which the family has requested a permit has reached capacity for the entire district or at the school requested on the transfer permit.
Families will be asked to submit recent documentation of the student's academic performance, attendance records, and disciplinary records, and a current IEP if applicable, in order for the initial permit request to be considered.
INITIAL DECISION FOR APPROVAL OF A TRANSFER PERMIT
A written decision about whether a student has been admitted for enrollment using a transfer permit will be provided within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the request for a transfer permit, and all documentation needed to review criteria, has been received. Failure to provide requested documentation by the parent/guardian will be considered an abandonment of the permit request.
If an initial request for a transfer permit is denied, written communication documenting the decision will provide the reason(s) for the denial and provide information on how to submit an appeal of the decision.
ANNUAL REVIEW OF STUDENTS ENROLLED USING A TRANSFER PERMIT
The records of all students enrolled using a transfer permit are reviewed annually using the criteria referenced above and may be revoked for the following school year if a student is not in good standing on all criteria. A transfer permit may also be revoked during a school year if a student commits a major disciplinary infraction or if there are serious persistent issues related to criteria.
If a transfer permit is revoked, written communication documenting the decision will provide the reason(s) for the revocation and provide information on how to submit an appeal of the decision.
