Transfers

Mountain View School District is committed to supporting families by providing school placement options that best meet each student’s educational success. Families may apply for an intra-district (current MVSD students) or an inter-district transfer (students residing outside MVSD) if they believe a school other than their designated home school is a better fit for their child.

 

All transfer requests are reviewed in accordance with Board Policy and Administrative Regulations 5116 and 5117. Approval is based on available space, staffing, enrollment projections, and program capacity. Submission of a transfer request does not guarantee approval.

 

Space Availability and Transfer Limitations

Space availability at school sites is determined by several factors, including classroom capacity, staffing allocations, enrollment projections, and program availability. Current enrollment and staffing projections indicate that the schools listed below are expected to have very limited space for the 2026-2027 school year.

 

While transfer requests for these schools may still be submitted, approval is unlikely due to limited capacity and continued residential growth within these attendance areas. Families are strongly encouraged to select a second-choice school when submitting a transfer request to ensure their application can be fully considered.

 

Schools with Limited Space for 2026-2027

  • New Haven Elementary School 
  • Park View Elementary School
  • Ranch View Elementary School

Important: 

The district's first priority is ensuring placement for students residing within Mountain View School District boundaries. Transfer requests are considered only after resident student enrollment needs have been met and available capacity has been determined. Ongoing residential development and enrollment fluctuations may further impact the District's ability to approve transfer requests.

Restraint and Seclusion Data

California Department of Education

Data Collection

The CDE collected restraint and seclusion data for the first time from local educational agencies (LEAs) as part of the 2019–20 CALPADS End-of-Year (EOY) 3 annual data submission. In preparation for this data collection, the CDE directed LEAs to start collecting these data locally beginning in fall 2019 for submission to CALPADS from May to September 2020. To accommodate the collection of these data, the CALPADS student discipline data files were modified to include the collection of the following behavioral restraint and seclusion data, which are defined in EC section 49005.1:

  • Mechanical Restraint: Use of a device or equipment to restrict a pupil's freedom of movement (with exceptions).
  • Physical Restraint: A personal restriction that immobilizes or reduces the ability of a pupil to move his or her torso, arms, legs, or head freely (with exceptions).
  • Seclusion: The involuntary confinement of a pupil alone in a room or area from which the pupil is physically prevented from leaving.

The chart below reflects data for the 2024-2025 school year.
