Interdistrict Transfers
An Interdistrict Transfer is for students living within the Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District (LGSUHSD) boundaries who wish to attend a school outside the District.
If you are a new resident to LGSUHSD boundaries, you must first enroll at your resident high school even if you have or are wanting to submit either an Intra district or Interdistrict transfer application request.
INTERDISTRICT FORM
How to Apply for an Interdistrict Transfer Leaving LGSUHSD
Students living within LGSUHSD who wish to attend a school outside the district must complete a LGSUHSD Interdistrict Transfer form.
1. Interdistrict transfers are good for the requested year only and must be renewed every year at the initiative of the parent or legal guardian.
2. LGSUHSD may agree to release your student, however, submission does not guarantee approved acceptance. Proofs of residency will be required by the approving district.
3. Once this form is completed and, if approved, it is forwarded to the new school district for their consideration.
4. Requests for students with an I.E.P. must include a full and complete copy of the most current I.E.P. along with the application.
5. Incomplete submissions will not be accepted.
6. Early submissions will be returned to the submitter.
Be advised, AB 2826 imposes a timeline for parents to appeal a district's decision within 30 calendar days. To appeal, please find information from the Santa Clara County Office of Education's appeal process. NOTE: While the SCCOE Board of Trustees can overturn a denial into CUHSD, they cannot determine specific site placement.
