30 AISD Schools Frozen to Transfers

AISD

Thirty schools within the Austin Independent School district will be frozen to incoming transfers, except in priority cases. Priority consideration will be given to students in three different types of situations:

• Sibling transfer requests are considered for students whose siblings are already attending another school on an approved transfer.
• Tracking transfers would allow a student who has attended the two highest grades in a school on an approved transfer to follow their peers to the next level, such as from a middle school to a high school.
• Majority-to-minority transfers allow students whose ethnic group makes up more than 50% of the student population to relocate to another school where their ethnic group is less than 50% of the enrollment. These transfers are considered to encourage diversity among students, and for the purposes of the transfers there are two ethnic groups defined: Black and Hispanic students, and American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian/Pacific Islander and White (and not of Hispanic origin) students.

The first date for these transfer requests will be February 6. The deadline for priority transfers is February 19.

According to AISD, the frozen schools are:

• High Schools — Akins, Anderson, Austin, Bowie, and McCallum.
• Middle Schools — Kealing, Murchison, and O. Henry.
• Elementary Schools — Baranoff, Barrington, Blazier, Bryker Woods (except 4th grade), Casis, Cook, Doss, Harris, Hart, Highland Park, Jordan, Kiker, Langford, Lee, Linder, McBee, Mills, Oak Hill, Overton, Perez, Rodriguez and Wooldridge.
