Due to the rapid growth in the FISD, the Director of Student Services will generally deny requests for student transfers to campuses projected at 90% of capacity or greater as of August 12 th. Portable building space will not be included in calculations of percentage of capacity. Requests for interdistrict transfers during the semester will generally be denied based on potential disruption of the educational program at both the assigned and requested campuses. Sibling Transfers - Sibling status will not guarantee transfer approval. Requests to transfer to attend a school outside their attendance area with their sibling will be evaluated as all other requests and will not be given preference. Siblings must meet criteria for transfer eligibility. Students not living within District boundaries will not be eligible to attend the Reese Alternative Campus. Once the school year has begun, new interdistrict transfers will only be considered during the first two (2) weeks of each semester. o Beginning for the 2012-2013 school year, a new transfer application must be submitted upon completion of 5 th grade prior to 6 th grade for existing transfers.
