How do I obtain a school permit for my child if we do not live in that city?

I will let you all know shortly how it goes in Downey.
I spoke to a Pasadena board member yesterday that said the only real reason they are accepting is if your current district provides something that Pasadena does not.
Looks like my daughter is taking up horses!! =)
PUSD doesn't offer any type of Equestrian classes.

I am in the same situation as a lot of you. PUSD denied my inter distrcit release. i have stated the following reasons:
1. financial
2. my daughter is already attending Temple City HS and has been recommened to return for the 2009-2010 school year
3. my in laws live in TC and i rely on them for chid support services such as picking up my daughter from school

i am in the second stage of appeal. i have to wait 10 working days. if it is denied i will appeal at the third stage and move out of pasadena.
i think its very sad how the education realm works. my daughter well being educationally and socially is not a factor in there decision. if it was the permit would be approved.
please give me any pointers. this is truly stressing me out and i feel sick!!

My update: We got our final denial from PUSD. Our next step is the review panel of LACOE.
Has anybody been given their 5 minutes in front of the board yet? How did it go?

pusd parents trying for transfers - we are going to the LA County appeal process - here are list of reasons we stated -
1. logistical hardship
2. financial hardship
3. parent involvement with childs education
Here are the areas we have not included-
1. Gangs/crime
2. Reverse discrimination (white kid)

What will work? Probably absolutely nothing.
I had written a email letter to Pasadena Star News about the "process" I have gone through with PUSD to obtain correct info to make informed decisions and the PUSD's complete incompetence. Unfortunately no one wants to hear about how we know about government incompetence nor how PUSD only cares about their pocketbook and not my child.

I read the legal documents and they are so intentionally vague and ambigious that I feel they have no set proven or written criteria that they use to make decisions except for their ability to intentionally create havoc in a parents life to collect state funds.
