Inter-District

Inter-district transfer applications are required for students wishing to attend a school outside of their resident district. This process involves approval from both the student's current district of residence and the desired receiving district. Parents should contact their resident school district for specific application procedures, deadlines, and transfer criteria. The receiving district retains the right to assign inter-district transfer students to any of its schools.

Intra-District

Intra-district transfers allow students residing within the Madera Unified boundaries to apply for enrollment at a school other than their assigned school of residence. To be considered, requests must meet at least one of the following criteria: employment, medical needs, a change of legal address, or childcare needs (TK-6th grade). Approval is contingent upon space availability at the requested school. Please note that families of students attending school on an intra-district transfer are responsible for providing transportation to and from the school of choice. All intra-district transfer approvals expire at the end of each school year.

Annual Employment

Applications are available for parents who work within MUSD attendance boundaries. Once granted, students become residents of the district, not a specific school. Parents must verify employment annually to maintain enrollment. New School Year applications are available annually on March 1st.
