Why does Torrance educate students who do not live in Torrance?
Like most other school districts in this area, the school age population of Torrance is declining. While it is not declining at a rate that would create significant reductions, the loss of the above mentioned revenue would seriously affect the district’s programs. Every year an analysis is completed identifying any extra space in the district’s schools. Only those campus’ that have extra space are opened up for inter district students. State law requires districts to make space available for non resident students if there is space available. T.U.S.D. accepts only about 50% of the students who apply for an inter-district attendance permit.
