YES, a transfer request must be submitted for every school year up until the 10th grade for most districts.  

Currently, these must be renewed every year for grades Kindergarten through 10th, for all districts, except:

• Murrieta Valley Unified School District
• All school districts within San Diego County

As of the 22-23 school year, students from these districts will be approved for an entire grade span (elementary, middle or high) and will only need to submit renewal requests for middle school (6th grade) and high school (9th grade).

All other districts must continue to submit yearly renewal requests up until, and including, 10th grade.

Interdistrict Transfer requests are received as of mid-January before the start of the new school year.

NOTE:  If a student from completes 10th or 11th grade on June 30th on an Interdistrict Transfer from any district, no additional transfer request renewals need to be submitted.  They will be allowed to stay until the end of 12th grade.
