Your child's permit must be accepted and approved by PUSD for admittance. Permit approval, denial and revocation is based on space and availability, satisfactory grades, attendance and behavior. If a permit is accepted, students are expected to maintain satisfactory attendance, effort, academic achievement, and behavior.  Priority is given to students who reside in a school’s attendance area.  Students on approved Inter-District permit are guaranteed space in the District.
