Transfer Guidelines For Children of MISD Employees

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: If after reading these up-dated guidelines you still have questions please contact the MISD Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum & Instruction at 469-742-4041.

• Employee transfer requests will be accepted between May 1 and June 30 of each year. The district will review requests from employees who join the district after June 30 on an individual basis.
• After transfer has been granted, student will not be returned to zoned campus during that school year.
• All secondary transfers, (9-12), are subject to review by the University Interscholastic League, even though the transfer request may be granted, it is the responsibility of the “party” seeking the transfer to insure that any and all possible UIL Ramifications are addressed.  Questions regarding the impact of transfers on UIL-governed activities can be directed to the MISD Athletic Director.
• A written application must be provided to the Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction, and approval must be granted prior to registration. The application, which has been up-dated for the 2008-2009 school year, can be obtained by clicking on the link above or through the office of Curriculum and Instruction.
•  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.
• 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.
• The children of MISD employees living outside MISD boundaries are also eligible to attend any McKinney ISD school based on enrollment numbers. The employee must directly receive his/her paycheck from McKinney ISD. Children of contracted services employees will not be eligible.
• Professional MISD certified staff are 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 until two full years of employment have been completed.
• 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 full tuition and there is no interruption in attendance. The tuition costs will be pro-rated based on the employee's last day of work for MISD.
• 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.
• All transfers are based on availability of space and are considered on an annual basis.
• MISD will not provide bus transportation for transfer students.
• As stated in the MISD Student Code of Conduct, student transfers may be revoked for lack of academic progress, attendance, tardies and/or misconduct.
