Board Resolution Regarding Temporary Modification of Transfer Policy in Response to Campus Closures and Rezoning

Whereas, Plano Independent School District (Plano ISD) recognizes the anticipated closure of certain campuses and the necessity for rezoning school boundaries;

Whereas, Plano ISD Board Policy FDB(LOCAL) governs intra-district transfers;

Whereas, Board Policy FDB(LOCAL) requires intra-district transfers to be granted on a first-come, first-served basis; and

Whereas, the temporary modification of the transfer policy to allow prioritization of students impacted by campus closures and rezoning is essential to facilitate a smooth transition for those students;

Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Board of Trustees of Plano Independent School District:

1. That Board Policy FDB(LOCAL) shall be temporarily modified to allow District administration to implement guidelines prioritizing students into four tiers: 
   1. Tier 1. Students impacted by campus closures and rezoning; 
   2. Tier 2. Students who will have a change in high school feeder pattern; 
   3. Tier 3. Students currently on a transfer; and 
   4. Tier 4. Students seeking transfer to and from campuses that are not impacted by school closures or rezoning. 
2. That transfers will be processed in the order they are received within each tier, starting with Tier 1.
3. That this temporary modification shall remain in effect from June 10, 2024 until June 26, 2026 unless otherwise modified by the Board.

This resolution is hereby adopted by the Board of Trustees of Plano Independent School District on this 10th day of June 2024.
