Interdistrict Petition Update: Renewals Now Required Every 5 Years
Based on a recent decision by the Imperial County Office of Education and Imperial County school superintendents, interdistrict petitions will now require a renewal every five years.
RETURNING INTERDISTRICT PETITIONS:
Students currently attending McCabe on an interdistrict petition must submit renewals between February 1 - April 15, 2027 for the 2027-2028 school year based on the last petition submitted for the 2022-2023 school year. Returning interdistricts will be reviewed each year during the month of June for attendance, tardies, or discipline issues before renewed for the following school year.
An "Interdistrict Attendance, Academic, and Behavior Contract Form" will be sent to parents/guardians for signature via ParentSquare as we get closer to the end of the school year. The contract, once signed, will cover the five-year life of the interdistrict or until the student no longer attends McCabe.
Two (2) current utility bills will be required when parents update their child's registration through ParentVUE for the 2023-2024 school year during the summer months.
INITIAL INTERDISTRICT PETITIONS:
If a student moves to a different district of residence OR onto junior high/high school, they must submit a new interdistrict as an "initial" petition. Initial petitions for new students, as well as five-year renewals, will now require two (2) current proofs of residency attached to the interdistrict petition when submitted to the district of residence for release. Petitions without two current proofs of residency will NOT be released.
