ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES FOR STUDENT TRANSFERS

New Transfers

There is a $35.00 non-refundable application fee for all new Out-of-District Transfer requests. Incomplete applications will not be accepted. 

Student transfer requests are considered on an individual student basis. However, the guidelines below are in place to ensure consistency in our process. The transfer requests will be reviewed by the Director of Student Services and if the transfer is denied, there is no appeal process. As long as the criteria for transfers continue to be met, the student's transfer will remain in place. An approval for one year does not guarantee nor imply the continued approval of future transfers into the district or to the same campus.

• Due to the rapid growth in Frenship ISD, the Director of Student Services will generally deny requests for student transfers to campuses projected at 90% of capacity or greater.
• Requests for an in-district transfer during the semester will generally be denied based on potential disruption of the educational program at both the assigned and requested campuses.
• In-district transfers will only be given consideration when there are extenuating circumstances as determined by the Director of Student Services.
• Sibling Transfers - Sibling status will not guarantee transfer approval. Requests to transfer to attend a school outside their attendance area with their sibling will be evaluated as all other requests and will not be given preference. Siblings must meet criteria for transfer eligibility.
• Students not living within District boundaries will not be eligible to attend the Reese Alternative Campus.
• New Out-of-district (Inter-District) transfers will only be considered through the first two (2) weeks of each semester.  
• A resident student who becomes a non-resident during the course of a semester shall be permitted to continue in attendance for the remainder of the school year as long as they meet the required criteria. FDA (LOCAL). Parents need to complete an Out-of-District Transfer within 2 weeks of the move.
