Public Education Grant (PEG)

About the Public Education Grant

In 1995, the Texas Legislature created the Public Education Grant (PEG) program (Texas Education Code [TEC], §§29.201– 29.205). The PEG program permits a parent whose child attends a campus on the PEG List to request a transfer to another campus within their home district or to a campus in a different district.  

A list of PEG-designated campuses is provided to districts annually. Based on annual preliminary ratings released in August, districts must notify each parent assigned to a campus on the PEG List unless otherwise directed by TEA. Parents may then request a transfer for the following school year. 

Note: Due to a judicial review of the 2022-23 and 2023-24 ratings, the usual notification timeline is changed from February 1 to September 1 for the 2025-26 school year only.  As such, PEG notifications for the 2025-2026 school year based on 2023 A-F Accountability final ratings are required by September 1, 2025.  

If your child is enrolled at a PEG school, you may request a PEG Transfer Application (any time in the school year) from your school or visit this link.

To apply for a PEG transfer, parents should complete and submit a PEG Transfer Application. The application can be mailed, e-mailed, or faxed to:

Detailed information on the Public  Education Grant can be found on the Texas Education Agency (TEA) website.
