Student Transfers
Students in kindergarten through high school in the Dallas Independent School District may apply for transfers from their assigned school to a school that better matches their interests or meets their needs—as long as they qualify and space is available. (See board policy FDB atwww.tasb.org/policy/pol/private/057905/).
Student transfer requests will only be processed during the application windows for the 2009–2010 school year.
