Tinsley Voluntary Transfer Program


The Voluntary Transfer Program (VTP), also referred to as the Tinsley Program, brings students from Ravenswood School District to Menlo Park City School District (MPCSD). The program was created in 1986 as part of a Settlement Order in San Mateo County Court in response to a petition filed in 1976 by Margaret Tinsley and other parents of the Ravenswood School District. 

The program aims to:

  • Reduce the racial isolation of students of color in the Menlo Park, Ravenswood, and other San Mateo County School Districts
  • Improve educational achievement of Ravenswood students
  • Enhance inter-district cooperation
