Interdistrict Attendance Permit Agreement
Student Expectations and Parent Requirements
Wiseburn Unified School District is committed to providing a safe, respectful, and academically rigorous learning environment for all students. Students attending Wiseburn schools on an interdistrict permit are expected to meet District standards for attendance, behavior, and academic progress.
We value our partnership with families and ask that parents/guardians and students review the following expectations and requirements for continued eligibility for an Interdistrict Attendance Permit.
Permit Revocation Guidelines
The District may revoke a student's Interdistrict Attendance Permit at any time if any of the following apply:
- The student is recommended for expulsion pursuant to Education Code section 48918 (Education Code section 48309).
- Information provided on the permit application and/or enrollment packet is falsified or misrepresented.
- The student demonstrates excessive tardiness or absences, as defined by District or school attendance expectations.
- The student engages in a serious or ongoing violation of school rules and regulations, as outlined in the school handbook and applicable District policies.
- The student fails to maintain satisfactory academic progress.
- Severe overcrowding, limited program capacity, and/or staffing shortages affect the District's ability to continue the student's enrollment.
Permit Status Review and Notification
The District reviews the status of students attending Wiseburn on an interdistrict permit twice each year, generally in February and June. Reviews may include the student's attendance, behavior, academic progress, and the District's enrollment and program capacity.
Following each review, families receive notification of the student's current permit status. Permit status categories include:
- Good Standing: The student is meeting District expectations for attendance, behavior, and academic progress.
- Return to Good Standing: The student previously had identified concerns or conditional permit status and has demonstrated sufficient improvement to return to regular permit status.
- Conditional: Concerns have been identified regarding the student's attendance, behavior, or academic progress. The student may remain enrolled while the concerns are addressed, but improvement is required to maintain continued permit eligibility.
- Warning: Concerns have been identified that warrant formal notice to the family. Continued or additional concerns may result in conditional permit status or revocation.
- Revocation: The District has determined that the student's Interdistrict Attendance Permit will be revoked based on the student's or parent/guardian's failure to meet permit expectations or requirements, or because District enrollment, staffing, or program capacity limits the District's ability to continue the student's enrollment.
The February review serves as a midyear review of the student's permit status and provides families with notice of identified concerns, when applicable. The June review is used to evaluate continued permit eligibility for the following school year.
Students and parents/guardians are expected to address identified concerns and maintain the expectations outlined in this agreement. A student's permit status may change based on the student's progress, continued or additional concerns, parent/guardian conduct, or District enrollment and program capacity.
The District may review or take action regarding an Interdistrict Attendance Permit at any time and is not required to wait until a scheduled February or June review when circumstances warrant earlier action.
Student Expectations
Students attending Wiseburn schools on an interdistrict permit are expected to:
- Demonstrate respectful and responsible behavior in the classroom, on the playground, and during all school-related activities.
- Follow all school rules, including expectations outlined in the school's discipline plan and handbook.
- Dress in a clean, neat, and school-appropriate manner and follow the school's dress code.
- Complete assignments and homework on time and maintain at least a "C" average.
- Attend school every day unless ill and arrive at school on time.
Parent/Guardian Responsibilities
Parents/guardians of students attending Wiseburn on an interdistrict permit are expected to:
- Ensure daily, on-time attendance unless the student is too ill to attend. Excessive absences or tardiness may affect continued permit eligibility.
- Pick up the student, or arrange for an authorized individual to do so, immediately after school. The District does not provide general supervision before or after school hours.
- Provide daily transportation to and from school.
- Cooperate with school staff in addressing discipline or behavioral concerns and reinforce school expectations and positive behavior at home.
- Maintain regular communication with teachers and/or school administrators regarding the student's academic, attendance, and behavioral progress.
- Follow District and school safety procedures, campus access requirements, and directions provided by District or school staff.
- Communicate and interact respectfully and civilly with students, staff, families, and members of the Wiseburn community.
Parent/guardian conduct that is serious, repeated, disruptive, unsafe, threatening, or uncivil, or that interferes with school operations or the District's ability to maintain a safe and respectful school environment, may affect the student's continued eligibility for an Interdistrict Attendance Permit and may result in permit revocation.
