Inter-District Transfers from Alameda to Piedmont (AUSD to PUSD)

See the recent threads on OUSD to PUSD transfers--it's the same process. You'd apply to the Alameda County Office of Education--they are processing all of the transfer requests between districts in the county now--and they will determine if you meet the requirements (for elementary, either your continuing childcare provider or your full-time job is located in Piedmont). If you meet the requirements, AUSD then needs to release you and PUSD needs to accept you. The paperwork is pretty straightforward, though meeting the criteria for a transfer doesn't necessarily guarantee that the receiving district has room for your student. (That said, I think Piedmont does generally have space these days, and it's a harder district to qualify for transfer into compared to someplace like Berkeley, so a smaller pool of students overall).

The response you received is inaccurate. All school districts in Alameda County must the transfer application form created by the Alameda County Office of Education. The application is submitted to your district of residence along with any required supporting documents. If approved, the application is submitted to Piedmont (PUSD) for consideration. Per an agreement between all school districts in Alameda County, today was the first day applications could be submitted for the 2o24-25 school year. Check PUSD’s non-resident transfer page for information on their process and how applications are prioritized. If you have any questions after reading the page, contact Sylvia Eggert in the Superintendent’s Office at 510-594-2614.  I hope this helps.
