Grandparent Permit

For the 2026-2027 school year, the Grandparent Permit application is only available for siblings of current students holding a Grandparent Permit in grades TK to 11th.

• Example 1: My son Johnny is currently attending Horace Mann in the 3rd grade with a Grandparent Permit. My daughter who will be entering TK for the upcoming school year is eligible to apply for a Grandparent Permit.
• Example 2: My daughter Audrey is graduating (currently in 12th grade) from Beverly Hills High School this school year and is enrolled with a Grandparent Permit. My younger daughter entering 4th grade next year is not eligible to apply for a Grandparent Permit because our family will not have a continuing student on Grandparent Permit the following school year.

Yes. Due to the fact that Beverly Hills Unified School District is a community-funded, "basic aid" district, enrollment of pupils can be denied if the enrollment will negatively impact the capacity of a program, class, grade level, or school building or will have an adverse financial impact on the district as determined by District Administration.

Yes. Please refer to the policy for the circumstances under which this may take place. 

No, the first time you apply is when your spot in the queue is established. 

A requirement of the application process is a release from the student's district of residence. The parent/guardian of the student is responsible for obtaining a release from their district of residence.

Call your local district office and they will either process it or refer you to the Los Angeles Office of Education to release you through an appeal.
