The primary function of the Child Welfare and Attendance Office is to maintain records for students who attend(ed) school(s) in the Baldwin Park Unified School District. This office also oversees Expulsion Hearings, School Attendance Review Board (SARB) hearings, and the Admission and Transfer (A T) meetings for alternative education placement of students.
School of Residence (Street Codes List)
The school children attend is based on the family’s place of residence. Use the Street Codes List to determine which school a child should attend, by looking up the street address of residence and the particular elementary, junior high, or high school related to that address. The school numbers are located on page 12 of this file. click here
Open Enrollment (Intra-District Transfer)
Parents of students who reside within the Baldwin Park Unified School District boundaries may enroll their children in any BPUSD school during Open Enrollment. The open enrollment registration period runs from March 1 to March 31, 2011. The selection process shall be conducted immediately after the application period at each school site, and enrollment in a school of choice shall be determined by lottery (NOT on a first-come first-served basis) from the eligible applicant pool. A waiting list shall be established to indicate the order in which applicants may be accepted as more openings occur. Late applicants shall be added to the waiting list by subsequent lotteries. Parents can pick up an open enrollment application at their child’s current school beginning Tuesday, March 1, 2011. Applicants will be notified by the schools as to whether their applications were approved, denied, or placed on a waiting list. Once a student is promoted from an elementary school or from 8th to 9th grade, the student is assigned to the original school of residence. Transportation is the responsibility of the student’s family. California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Eligibility Rules apply to 9th -12th graders.
