OPEN ENROLLMENT is the process where Torrance Unified School District students can apply to attend another Torrance school that is not their designated home school. 

 

Notification of Open Enrollment for Torrance Unified School District Residents for the 2016-2017 School Year:

 

Per Ed Code 35160.5b, Torrance Unified School District established a policy allowing Parents/Guardians who live within the Torrance Unified School District boundaries to apply to have their children attend a school other than their home school.   Once a year, during a specific period of time, applications are accepted for the following school year. Once the procedure is complete, the Open Enrollment school becomes the permanent home school for that student. 

Incomplete or

Incorrectly completed

 applications will not be processed. 

Important Information about Open Enrollment

 

  • Submitting the application does not guarantee approval. 

  • Students with siblings already attending the school requested on a permanent basis (as long as the sibling will still be there in 2016-17 will be given priority.)

  • In schools where there are more applications than spaces available, a random, computer-generated lottery will be held to determine which students are accepted and to create a waiting list. Applications are considered equally, if received within the stated time period. It is not first-come, first-served.

  • Transportation to the Open Enrollment school is not provided.

  • Open Enrollment is the only current option for Torrance Unified School District parents who wish their student to go to a school other than the student’s home school. However, Open Enrollment changes the student’s home school permanently. It does not need to be renewed. It can only be rescinded if the student applies, and is accepted for, Open Enrollment to another school, for a subsequent school year.

 

IMPORTANT: 

Once granted, Open Enrollment is irrevocable. If you move to another location within the Torrance School District, your permanent home school will still be the school you chose for Open Enrollment until the student graduates from high school, you move out of Torrance Unified School District boundaries, or you re-apply and are accepted into another site per Open Enrollment during a later year.
