AISD opens transfer request process

AUSTIN (KXAN) - The Austin School District began accepting requests for school transfers for the 2013-2014 school year beginning on Monday.

Applications for priority transfers and non-priority transfers that are to be considered in the first round lottery process will be accepted through 5 p.m. on Jan. 31.

Parents submitting requests for students who are new to the district or who have had an address change since enrolling in school this year need to attach proof of residence and a picture ID.

Each year, the School District determines which schools should be frozen to transfers because they have, or are expected to have, enrollments that exceed their capacities.
