Interdistrict Transfers

2026-2027 School Year

APPLICATION STATUS UPDATE 9/16/26

Thank you for your interest in Coronado Unified District Schools. We received a high volume of transfer applications this year and have reached capacity across our campuses. As of today all 26-27 applicants have been sent status notifications to the email address provided on their application. Please check your spam and junk folders in addition to your primary inbox. CUSD is not maintaining a wait list. To ensure there is no disruption to your student's education, please finalize or maintain enrollment with your school district of residence. We wish all students and families an enriching and rewarding school year.

Mid-Year Address Changes & IDTs: What you need to know

If your family moves during the school year while attending a CUSD school on an approved IDT, please notify the school registrar via email right away to inform us of your change of address. Because an IDT is tied to your district of residence, moving to a new address invalidates your current permit. You must submit an updated IDT permit to your home district reflecting your new address. Once your home district has formally released your student and you receive the approved IDT permit please return it to CUSD.

In most cases, students are permitted to complete the current school year while updated paperwork is being processed avoiding any disruptions to learning.

Instructions & Frequently Asked Questions

2027-2028 School Year

CUSD will begin accepting applications for the new school year in late spring 2027. The link to apply will be posted here.

Status Notifications: Decisions (accepted or denied) will be released in late July or early August (once our resident enrollment is finalized) to the email address used in the pre-application Google form. Please do not contact Coronado Unified to inquire about the status of your pre-application. Staff will be diligently working to process your IDT application(s).

Inquiries & Communication: To ensure a streamlined process and accurate record-keeping, all Interdistrict Trnafer inquiries must be submitted via email to transfer@coronadousd.net Please do not call or visit the district office or school sites with transfer-related questions. Any updates will be posted on this webpage. For additional information please consult the FAQs.

*** You must enroll your student, remain enrolled, and attend school in your home district of residence, while any IDT application is pending.***

Appeals Process

1. District. Any parent or guardian wanting to appeal a decision should send a request to start the process to this email within 14 business days of the permit refusal. You may include any supplemental information that is relevant to support your request.

2. SDCOE. The person having legal custody of the student(s) may appeal, within 30 calendar days of the failure or refusal to issue an interdistrict attendance permit, to the San Diego County Board of Education. Failure to appeal within the required time is good cause for denial of an appeal. An appeal shall be accepted only upon verification by the county board of education’s designee that appeals within the school districts have been exhausted. Questions can be directed to the San Diego County Office of Education at interdistrict.transfer.appeal@sdcoe.net.
