Transfer Guidelines For Children of MISD Employees – 2006-2007

McKinney ISD is committed to providing to employees added benefits that may increase the appeal of working for our district. Below are the updated guidelines regarding the attendance of students of staff: 

1. Children (pre-K – 12) of MISD employees are eligible to attend any regular McKinney ISD school, regardless of residence of the MISD employee. Employees must be full-time MISD employees or work 20 or more hours per week (classified as, at least, a half-time employee). Substitutes are not eligible.

2. Contracted employees living within McKinney ISD (paycheck does not directly come from MISD) may be eligible to attend a school outside of the attendance zone if that school is the work location of the employee, or in the case of a bus driver, on the route for the employee.

3. If employment ends for an employee living within MISD with a student attending school outside of his/her attendance zone, the student may be eligible to stay at the campus until the end of the school year if space is available.

4. The children of MISD employees living outside MISD boundaries are also eligible to attend any McKinney ISD school. The employee must directly receive his/her paycheck from McKinney ISD. Children of contracted services employees will not be eligible.

5. Professional MISD certified staff would be exempt from paying out-of-district tuition for their children. All other MISD staff members will be required to pay half of the regular tuition.

6. If employment with MISD ends for an employee living outside MISD, the child of the former employee may continue attending school within MISD at a school with space available until the end of that school year only, as long as the former employee pays tuition and there is no interruption in attendance. The tuition costs would be pro-rated based on the employee’s last day of work for MISD.

7. Once a student starts high school, he or she will be encouraged to graduate from that high school, unless employment of his/her parent with the district ends and/or the employee moves outside of MISD.

8. All transfers are based on availability of space and are considered on an annual basis.

9. MISD will not provide bus transportation for transfer students.

10. A written application must be provided to the Superintendent or his designee, and approval must be granted prior to registration. The application can be obtained through the Communications Office.

11. Questions regarding the impact of transfers on UIL-governed activities can be directed to the MISD Athletic Director.

All other transfer questions can be directed to the McKinney ISD Administrative Services department at 469-742-4056..
