IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING RESIDENCY
If your student is accepted into the ACE Program and you live outside of the Vacaville Unified School District’s boundaries, you will be required to complete an additional step before your student is enrolled. All students that reside outside of our District and wish to attend one of our comprehensive school sites (non-charter schools) are required to submit an InterDistrict Attendance Agreement with their District of residence. The District of residence needs to approve the Agreement first and then they will forward it to our District for our review and consideration. If the Agreement is approved, then the formal enrollment process can begin. In order to take advantage of your lottery selection, you will need to submit your InterDistrict Agreement within 30 calendar days of being offered a spot. Failure to submit the Agreement, may result in your student’s spot at ACE being removed to allow students on the waitlist to enroll. If you have extenuating circumstances, please contact the Student Attendance and Welfare Office at 707-469-2307.

The InterDistrict Transfer process can be lengthy and varies depending on your home district, so it is essential that out-of-district families begin the process early in the spring.
-
Begin by going to your home district and requesting a transfer to VUSD.
-
Once your home district releases your student(s), your transfer request will be forwarded to VUSD.
-
VUSD will review the request and provide a response in writing. Only students on the approved InterDistrict Transfer list will able to enroll.
