A student or parent may make a request to the Superintendent or Superintendent’s designee for a transfer to attend a safe public school in the district. The district shall grant the transfer if the student:
- Attends school at a campus identified by TEA as persistently dangerous,
- Was a victim of a violent criminal offense while in school or on the grounds of the school the student attends as defined by AISD Policy FDE (Local), or
- Has been the victim of sexual assault or aggravated sexual assault, regardless of whether the offense occurred on or off school property. The parent/guardian can request that either the student victim or the student assailant be transferred to another campus [see FDE (Legal)].
Transfer of Students Who Are Victims of or Have Engaged in Bullying - see Board Policy FFI (Legal) and Texas Education Code section 25.0342 for more information.
On the request of a parent or other person with authority to act on behalf of a student who is a victim of bullying, the board of trustees of a school district or the board's designee shall transfer the victim to:
- Another classroom at the campus to which the victim was assigned at the time the bullying occurred; or
- A campus in the school district other than the campus to which the victim was assigned at the time the bullying occurred.
The board of trustees of a school district may transfer the student who engaged in bullying to:
- Another classroom at the campus to which the victim was assigned at the time the bullying occurred; or
- A campus in the district other than the campus to which the victim was assigned at the time the bullying occurred, in consultation with a parent or other person with authority to act on behalf of the student who engaged in bullying. Texas Education Code section 37.004 (concerning students with disabilities who receive special education services) applies to transfers under this section.
The board of trustees or the board's designee shall verify that a student has been a victim of bullying before transferring the student under this section. The board of trustees or the board's designee may consider past student behavior when identifying a bully. The determination by the board of trustees or the board's designee is final and may not be appealed.
A student or parent shall make a request to the Superintendent or designee for a transfer for one of the reasons above within 30 calendar days after notice of the incident. The district shall respond to the transfer request within 10 school days.
AISD has no schools identified by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) as persistently dangerous campuses.
