  • Inter-District Transfers

    		 OPEN
       

    MORE INFORMATION

    Transfers across school district lines require permission from both school districts. There must be space in the incoming school and there must be a release from the resident school district. For contact information for other school districts, go to Other District Contacts.

    Inter-District Transfer applications for the 2025-26 school year will be available in mid/late April or early May.

    For the 2024-25 school year, the PPS School Board voted on the 2024-25 Inter-District Transfer resolution on April 2, 2024. Note regarding inter-district transfer out of the PPS school district: if your child does not qualify for the standard release, you may request a release through the hardship process. See the criteria set by the State of Oregon for hardship. To request an Inter-District transfer application, email enrollment-office@pps.net.
