    This list is subject to change.

  • Can I reverse a transfer?

    Intra-district transfers

    Intra-district transfer is a commitment for at least one semester. Transfers or reversal of transfers to return to the home campus are not granted during semesters.

     

    Inter-district (out of district) transfers

    Inter-district (out of district) transfers are granted annually but the parent may choose to withdraw their student at any time and return to their home district.

  • How long does a transfer last and can it be revoked?

    Intra-district transfers

    Once approved, the intra-district transfer is effective for all grade levels in the designated feeder school unless the school becomes overcrowded. In such cases, the district reserves the right to suspend the transfer or return transfer students to their home school. When a change of level is made (elementary to middle school, middle school to high school, etc.) a new transfer form is not needed unless the student would like to return to their home campus feeder or select a different school.  

    Siblings are not guaranteed approval to the same campus. Transfer availability will be evaluated at the time of their request.

    An Intra-district transfer may be revoked by the school principal if disciplinary or attendance rules are violated, if there is a lack of academic progress, or if there is a lack of parental cooperation at the transfer campus.

    Intra-district transfers are revocable at the fall semester or end of school year.

     

    Inter-district (out of district) transfers

    Inter-district (out of district) transfers are approved for one school year only under Texas Education Code requirements.  All inter-district(out of district) transfer students must reapply and qualify annually. 

    The parent/guardian will be notified when it is time to renew their inter-district transfer for the following year.  

    Once approved, the inter-district (out of district) transfer is effective for all grade levels in the designated feeder school unless the school becomes overcrowded. In such cases, the district reserves the right to suspend the transfer or return transfer students to their home district. 

    Inter-district (out of district) transfers may be revoked by district personnel if disciplinary or attendance rules are violated, if there is a lack of academic progress, or if there is a lack of parental cooperation.

    Inter-district (out of district) transfers are revocable at the end of the academic year.
