NEW TRANSFER POLICY/Application

The Board reserves the right to accept or reject any nonresident transfer student for admission to Douglass ISD. A student wishing to transfer into Douglass ISD shall file an application for transfer with the Superintendent or designee.  

The following factors will be considered:

  1. The grade level of the student seeking admission and the effect of additional students at the grade level on class size, staffing, and facilities.

  2. The disciplinary and criminal record of the student seeking admission.

  3. The attendance record of the student seeking admission.

  4. The academic record of the student seeking admission.

  5. Any additional factor not prohibited by law as deemed relevant by the Board.

There is a $2,000 per family transfer fee for each school year. The full transfer fee is due in the Superintendent’s Office by July 01 and the check must have cleared the bank by July 10.  Failure to submit transfer fee by the deadline may result in transfer being denied. Transfer fee is not refundable because of transfer revocation or student withdrawal. Transfer may be revoked by the Superintendent at any time for good cause. The parent of out of district transfers must provide transportation. 

Other information:

  1. Transfer applications are considered on an individual basis without regard to sex, race, national origin, color, religion, disability, or ancestral language. In making decisions, the Superintendent may consider Student's attendance and disciplinary history, as well as the District's class sizes, available resources, and any potential effect on resident students.

  2. GT program. Parent acknowledges that placement of a transfer student in the District's gifted and talented program is contingent upon a review of records, observation reports, and re-evaluation.

  3. The Parent's signature below constitutes a consent by the parent for DISD officials to obtain and review, for the purpose of the application for transfer, copies of the Student's records maintained by any school district in which the Student has been enrolled, including the district in which the Student is currently enrolled, if any.

  4. Additional conditions. This section does not limit the provisions in this agreement concerning disciplinary infractions. Because an inter-district transfer is a privilege rather than  a right, the agreement may be revoked for any of the following  reasons, without limitation: 

  • The student's attendance has fallen below ninety five percent in any semester. 

  • The student has earned repeated failing grades in any class. 

  • The student has engaged in repeated minor violations of the Student Code of Conduct. 

  • The student has engaged in any gang-related activity. 

  • The student has engaged repeatedly in behavior that hinders the learning of other students. 

  • The student has engaged in conduct that is disruptive to the educational process of the District. 

  • The student's vaccination record becomes out of compliance with state law. 

  • A District administrator determines that a false statement has been made in any part of this application. 

Upon the occurrence of any of the listed circumstances, the Superintendent shall, before making a decision, receive the recommendation of the campus Principal concerning the status of the transfer. If the transfer is revoked, the District will notify the Parent and the Student's school district of residence. 

Duration of the agreement: Unless cancelled or revoked by its terms, the agreement applies for one academic school year, the year of 2024-2025.

I understand that making a false statement in this document or any other document for the purpose of school enrollment is a criminal offense under Section 37.10 of the Texas Penal Code and could subject me to imprisonment for up to two years and/or a fine up to $10,000. I further understand that enrollment of a child under false documents is a violation of Section 25.001 of the Texas Education Code and subjects me to liability under Texas law for the greater of these amounts: the maximum tuition permitted by law or the cost per student budgeted by the District for maintenance and operating expenses.
