Enrollment Based on Parent Employment (Allen Bill)

Updated: April 14, 2025

PVPUSD welcomes students to enroll if a parent/guardian works within the PVPUSD boundaries!

What Qualifies for Allen Bill Enrollment?

Residency Based on Parent/Guardian Employment, if implemented annually by the Board of Education, allows District residency status to be granted to a student, on a space available basis, if at least one parent/guardian is employed by a business that is physically located within the attendance boundaries of the District for a minimum of 10 hours per week during the normal school day.

For purposes of this regulation, “Parent/Guardian” means the natural or adoptive parent or legal guardian of a dependent child.

“Normal School Day” shall be 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

“Attendance Boundaries of the District” is limited to only the official district boundaries of the school district. Certain areas of Rolling Hills Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes are technically zoned for Los Angeles Unified School District and do not qualify as “within the attendance boundaries”.
