MISD Administrative Guidelines for <strong>Student</strong> <strong>Transfer</strong> <strong>Request</strong>s<br />
<strong>Student</strong> <strong>Transfer</strong> <strong>Request</strong>s for Children of Non-MISD Employees<br />
The following information includes guidelines the administration uses in making the decisions regarding student transfers<br />
of children of non-MISD employees.<br />
The district policy on transfers can be found at:<br />
http://pol.tasb.org/Home/Index/310<br />
<strong>Student</strong> <strong>Transfer</strong> <strong>Request</strong>s:<br />
When reviewing petitions for student transfers, the <strong>McKinney</strong> ISD will consider each request on an individual basis;<br />
however, the guidelines below are in place to ensure consistency in our process. The transfer petitions will be considered<br />
by the zoned and receiving campus principals or their designee. All authorizations for K-12 student transfers are for a<br />
one-year period; petitions must be submitted annually. An approval for one year does not guarantee nor imply the<br />
approval of future transfers to the same campus or to the feeder campus.<br />
<strong>Student</strong> <strong>Transfer</strong> <strong>Request</strong> will be accepted January 17 – March 4, 2011. Any request received prior to this date<br />
will not be processed. If a hardship occurs after this date the zoned and receiving administrators will review the<br />
transfer at the time the hardship occurs.<br />
The zoned and receiving principals will decide all transfer requests on a case-by-case basis. The district will<br />
consider health issues and legal issues that are verifiable and documented and can be resolved by a transfer.<br />
<strong>Transfer</strong>s for siblings of students who are placed in self-contained special education units that are not located on<br />
every campus will be considered for a hardship intra-district transfer. <strong>Student</strong>s who are retained (in grades K-8)<br />
and asked to repeat a grade may also qualify for a hardship transfer. The one year transfer is for the first year<br />
after the student was retained from the zoned campus.<br />
Due to the rapid growth in the MISD, most requests for student transfers to campuses projected at 90% of<br />
capacity or greater will be denied unless significant extenuating circumstances exist.<br />
Parents whose transfer requests are approved will be responsible for providing transportation to and from the<br />
campus.<br />
An acceptable “Proof of Residency” which verifies that the petitioner legally lives within the MISD attendance<br />
boundaries must accompany each transfer request form.<br />
Families who move into the MISD after this date will be handled on an individual basis.<br />
All secondary transfers are subject to review by the University Interscholastic League.<br />
The student transfer can be revoked by the school or district administration if there is a violation of the<br />
attendance policy and/or a violation of the <strong>McKinney</strong> ISD <strong>Student</strong> Code of Conduct (SCOC).<br />
All transfers are based on availability of space and are considered on a year-by-year basis.<br />
<strong>McKinney</strong> ISD does not accept out of district transfers except in the following circumstance.<br />
Parents who present a contract, to the zoned principal, on a home in the district with closing date stated will be<br />
allowed to enroll students in MISD. If the closing date is after September 15 of current year, the full semester<br />
tuition must be paid. A pro-rated refund will be issued depending on move in date.<br />
Public Education Grant (PEG)<br />
<strong>Student</strong>s attending or zoned for <strong>McKinney</strong> High <strong>School</strong> may apply for a student transfer.<br />
<strong>McKinney</strong> North High <strong>School</strong> is the designated school of choice option for <strong>McKinney</strong> <strong>Independent</strong> <strong>School</strong> District.<br />
One year commitment to <strong>McKinney</strong> North High <strong>School</strong> is required.<br />
An acceptable “Proof of Residency” must accompany each transfer request.<br />
All normal student transfer requirements and processing applies to PEG transfers.<br />
How to make a written request for an In-District <strong>Transfer</strong> <strong>Request</strong>:<br />
Any parent or legal guardian (students under the age of 18 cannot make a transfer request themselves) wishing<br />
to ask for a student transfer must completely fill out the official “MISD <strong>Student</strong> <strong>Transfer</strong> <strong>Request</strong> <strong>Form</strong>” and send it<br />
to the zoned campus principal. If approved by your child’s principal or designee, you will deliver the request to<br />
the receiving principal or their designee for their approval. If the receiving campus principal or their designee<br />
denies your request, you must remain on your zoned campus.<br />
An acceptable “Proof of Residency” must accompany each transfer request.<br />
