Leander ISD Elementary and Middle School Student Transfer Application Terms and Conditions
*(Please Read These Conditions for Elementary and Middle School Student Transfers)
All transfers will be assessed a non-refundable $30 processing fee, with the exception of “program” determined transfers, confirmed by the appropriate department designee. Processing fee does not guarantee approval of transfer.
Transfer requests are approved for one school year only, and must be requested each school year. There is no guarantee that a student will be able to transfer each year.
Transfers will be made subject to space being available at the campus and grade level.
The transfer student must be in compliance with the attendance laws as outlined in the Student and Parent Handbook or the transfer will not be approved in following years.

The transfer student must also maintain a good discipline record (no serious infraction which would result in a hearing and/or persistent violations of the Student Code of Conduct). Multiple transfers in the same year will most often not be approved.
Transportation to and from school will be the responsibility of the parent or legal Guardian, unless the transfer is determined to be a “program” transfer.
By his or her agreement on this form, the parent or legal guardian provides assurance that the requested transfer is not for the purpose of participating in any UIL activity, or any other activity governed by UIL rules and regulations, whether or not under UIL sanctions, and that no recruiting or tampering has occurred in violation of UIL rules and regulations.
Some programs are centralized at certain campuses and transfers will not be approved into a campus that does not offer any required programming that a child needs,
or that does not have space availability in the program.. Please note: It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to ascertain program availability at the desired campus prior to requesting an intra-district student transfer.

currently accepting transfers, please refer to:

Notification of Athletic Eligibility Requirements: Does the requested campus feed into the high school the student is currently zoned to attend? If not, please note the following: Parents/Guardians at ALL grade levels must be aware of the athletic limitation, especially if their child does not attend an elementary or middle school which feeds the high school the student is zoned to attend. High school athletic eligibility is based on attending the high school to which the child is zoned. Students transferring between high schools within the Leander School District will lose one calendar year of eligibility for sub-varsity and varsity athletics, meaning student athletes not attending their zoned high school must “sit out” of sports for one calendar year to establish eligibility. At this time, transferring students involved in all other UIL activities will be eligible immediately.
I have read the above statement and understand the athletic eligibility requirements for
Leander ISD. *There are extremely limited exceptions to this; to read them, please refer to:
http://www.leanderisd.org/default.aspx?name=dept.athletics or call athletics for a printed version (570-0170).
Parent/guardian and student agree that the request for an Intra-District transfer is made with a full understanding of and agreement to all of the above conditions.
