What This Means for Your Family
Under School Choice, a parent or guardian can request his or her child be transferred to another school within the district other than the one serving their residence.
-
If you live within NEISD boundaries, your child is assigned to a campus based on your address.
- With School Choice, you may request a transfer to a different NEISD school.
- Approval depends on available space at the requested campus and grade level.
PLEASE NOTE: Magnet programs and Interdistrict Transferring require separate applications.
