All Students who are interested in applying and wish to attend a school outside of the Las Virgenes Unified School District.

Follow the steps on the Interdistrict Outgoing application request and email the documents within 15 days.

Please include your Permit Request Number on ALL communication sent to the District.  

Please bear in mind that Out-of-District permits will only be processed for the following reasons: 

• If using Employment: please provide employment information. Three months proof of payment (pay stub) and a letter on the employer’s letterhead verifying schedule (hours and days) and location of employment (a minimum of 15 hours per week is required); 
  
  OR If self-employed, send all that apply: an office lease, a letter on business letterhead verifying location of employment, a copy of a valid current business license (not applicable for the City of Calabasas) and/or the following: business card, website link, 1099, W2 or tax registration certificate.   
   
• If using Sibling: please provide a copy of sibling’s current and last year's report card.
• If using Continuing Enrollment/Education: please provide proof of attendance in current school.

• If using a Specialized Program: please submit a detailed letter outlining the reason for your departure. Please include explicit details about the specialized program course not offered by LVUSD. This should include a detailed written comparison between the two schools that includes website links. (Example: Course details, website, brochure) This will help in the consideration of your request. Approvals will be contingent upon proof of enrollment in specialized programs.

Please email all requested documentation with your permit request number to permitinfo@lvusd.org.
 

We would prefer you submit your documents as soon as possible, no later than 15 days after completing the application.

We consider parent employment (minimum 15 hours per week) within school boundaries, sibling currently enrolled, specialized program and continuing education. Other reasons are considered on a case by case basis.  
 

Permit applications open October 1st for the 2025-2026 school year. Applications submitted after the deadline will be reviewed and/or processed on a case by case basis.
 

Please review the Decision and Deadlines drop down. Families will receive an email with the status of your application. Applications received after the deadline will be processed on a case by case basis. 

If approved for a release, a copy of your signed permit will be sent to you and the requested district. Being released from LVUSD does not guarantee acceptance into your requested district. 

Applications submitted for the current school year will be processed within 30 days. Applications submitted for an upcoming school year will be processed within 14 days of the start of instruction for that school year.
 

Check with your new home district. 

LVUSD does not require a new request. Once approved and released, a student may remain at the approved school through the highest grade level at that school. Unless there is a change in status, which may include changing your home address. 

No. The requested district should be able to simultaneously work on your incoming request, while you are waiting on the decision from LVUSD.
 

We will fix it for you. Email permitinfo@lvusd.org and we will update your application request. You do not need to submit another request.
