The West Covina Unified School District currently provides comprehensive educational programs for children enrolled in kindergarten and grades 1 through 12.  These programs are available on a limited basis through statutory attendance options, to students who reside outside district boundaries.  Addition attendance options as described below are available on a limited basis to pupils who parents or guardians currently reside with in the district’s boundaries and to pupils who have established residency {EC 48204(c) or EC 48209}.

Current statutory and local attendance options available to district pupils are as follows:

• Intra-District Open Enrollment: A program of open enrollment that is available to pupils whose parent/guardian have established residence within district attendance boundaries to select the school within the district that the child shall attend. Application is made at the district office.
• Inter-District Attendance: Two or more school districts may enter into an agreement to allow a pupil to attend a district outside the district of residence. Applications are available from the school in whose attendance area the pupil resides.
• Parent Employment-Related Transfers: School districts may but are not required to admit an elementary pupil to its schools whose parent/guardian is employed within the boundaries of the district.
• Inter-District Choice/District of Choice: A program of inter-district choice which allows students whose parent/guardian live outside district attendance boundaries to attend school within the district. Pupil selection shall be based on a random, unbiased process. Applications for all sites are received at the district office.
