Above is a list of AISD schools identified under the Public Education Grant (PEG) Program. This list, effective for the 2012-13 school year, identifies campuses that were rated Academically Unacceptable in 2009, 2010, or 2011 under the statewide accountability system.
A student enrolled in any of the campuses listed may:
1. make application to attend a campus in any other school district for the 2012-13 school year, or
2. may apply to attend another non-PEG, non-closed (open for transfers) campus in AISD for the 2012-13 school year.
If your student attends any of these PEG schools, you will receive a letter from your school stating that your campus is a PEG campus. Below is additional information related to PEG transfers:
1. If you wish to enroll your student in another school district in 2012-13 because your AISD school is a PEG school, please contact that school district in writing for information on the transfer.
2. If you live in another school district and attend a PEG school, you may put your name on a waiting list to apply for a transfer to any AISD non-PEG, non-closed (open for transfers) school beginning on February 25th from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon at the Administration building, 1203 W. Pioneer Parkway, Arlington, TX. You must have a copy of the PEG letter from your school. However, out-of-district transfers will not be processed until August.
3. If you wish to enroll your student in another AISD school in 2012-13, requests for PEG transfers will be taken at the Administration building. If there are no openings in the school and grade you want, you may put your name on a waiting list at the Administration building.
4. There is no transfer fee from a PEG school to a non-PEG school.
5. If you choose to transfer to another PEG campus, a transfer fee must be paid.
6. If you choose to renew your transfer to a PEG campus, a transfer fee must be paid.
7. No transportation will be provided.
8. The student may stay at the non-PEG school until:
- the original campus is removed from the PEG list, or
- the student is moved to a non-PEG school due to boundary changes or student moves into a non-PEG school attendance zone, or
- the student completes all grades in the non-PEG school. Therefore, the student will return to his/her home school feeder school when moving from 6th to 7th grade or from 8th to 9th grade.
If you have further questions, please see the PEG FAQ document link on this website. Contact your PEG school for questions regarding academics, or for transfer information, call the PEIMS department at 682-867-7217.
