Thank you for your interest in Milano ISD. Please read this information in its entirety.
Milano ISD is accepting applications for new out-of-district transfers for the 2026-27 school year, subject to available space in all K-12 grade levels. Applicants will need to meet specific criteria to qualify as a transfer student. The deadline for submitting 2026-27 transfer information is Wednesday, July 15, 2026, and time stamps will be used for submissions. Transfers will be evaluated on a first-come, first-served, case-by-case basis. Incomplete transfer packets will not be considered.
Notification of transfer acceptance or rejection will be sent by the end of July.
Enrollment of nonresident students is based on campus capacity. In addition to serving those students who reside in the campus attendance zone, campus capacity is defined as accommodating additional students without incurring additional cost in the form of teachers or classrooms. Availability of space and instructional staff are factors considered when accepting transfer students.
Please Note: Parents should not complete the MISD online enrollment process until the transfer application has been approved.
Transfers are evaluated year by year, contingent on compliance with Policy FDA(LOCAL). The district reserves the right to discontinue this practice should it be determined that it is no longer economically feasible or that space is no longer available. Returning transfer students must reapply each school year.
Revocation of Transfer
Transfer students to Milano ISD are obligated to adhere to all district rules, policies, and regulations, including the Student Code of Conduct, academic requirements, and attendance expectations outlined in FDA(LOCAL). Failure to meet these responsibilities may lead to the revocation of the transfer agreement at any time.
Factors
In determining whether a nonresident student shall be permitted to enroll in Milano ISD, the Superintendent or their designee shall consider the following factors:
1. The availability of space and instructional staff.
2. The student’s disciplinary and criminal record.
- A student shall not be allowed to transfer into the District if he or she has incurred a disciplinary alternative education program (DAEP) placement, has been suspended, or expelled for one or more days.
- Recurring or persistent disciplinary problems may be sufficient reasons for rejecting a transfer request.
3. The student’s attendance record. A student shall not be allowed to transfer into the District if his or her attendance records for the most recent school year indicate less than 90 percent attendance.
4. Whether the student made satisfactory academic progress during the previous school year. A student shall not be allowed to transfer into the District if he or she has not performed at or above grade level on the most recent state-mandated assessments and satisfied requirements for all academic courses from the previous school year.
5. Any additional factors not prohibited by law as deemed relevant by the Superintendent or designee.
Appeals
Any appeals shall be made in accordance with FNG(LOCAL) and GF(LOCAL), as appropriate.
