Instructions for completing a request for transfer INTO TCSD:

Contact your current district of residence (home district) to request a release. Refer to your home district’s website or contact them for more information so you can understand the entire process; each district often follows different procedures.
If your home district approves your request for a release, the signed and approved release will be forwarded to the Tulare City School District, Enrollment Office.
If new to TCSD complete an Online Registration.

Upon review of the received release and corresponding registration, TCSD will notify you of the district’s decision in writing. As the process involves a number of factors, requests are processed within 30 days. Please note there may be delays in this timeline due to the time of the year (holidays, breaks, etc.), a student's Special Education status, or other reasons beyond staff control.
