Keller ISD does not provide transportation for approved student transfers, unless otherwise required by law. Parents will be responsible for providing transportation to and from the campus. 

If you move to another attendance zone or out of the District during the course of a semester, you must immediately provide the campus with an updated proof of residence and immediately submit a transfer request. 

Sibling status will not guarantee transfer approval. Siblings must meet the transfer guidelines to be approved for transfer. 

Student transfers may be denied and/or revoked due to poor attendance, excessive tardiness, failure to pick up students at dismissal time, lack of parental cooperation, and/or behavioral issues. 

Reasons for denying a transfer include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Overcrowded condition at receiving campus or the transfer would require employment of additional staff; 
• Record of poor attendance, late arrivals, early and/or pick-ups, and/or disciplinary infractions; 
• Transfer is being made for the purpose of participating in an extra-curricular activity at receiving campus; 
• Previous transfer already granted for the current school year; 
• Falsification of information; or
• Revocation of a previous transfer. 

Student transfers may be revoked due to poor attendance, excessive tardiness, failure to pick up students at dismissal time, lack of parental cooperation, and/or behavioral issues. 

A renewal transfer application must be submitted annually for the following:

• Students that live outside the Keller ISD boundaries; or
• Continuations resulting in students changing buildings in a feeder pattern progression. 

Because there are many variables to be considered when evaluating a request, some decisions may take longer than others. You will be notified by email of the decision. 

Yes, you need to fill out a separate application for each student.

The UIL residency rule applies to athletics only.

Requests for current school year transfers are only considered in extraordinary circumstances. You can initiate the request by emailing your students’ current school principal directly. Please provide an explanation for the transfer request.
