Thank you for your interest in Midway ISD. Please read this information in its entirety.
Midway ISD is accepting new out-of-district transfers for the 2022-23 school year as space allows to include all grade levels (exception of Pre-K). Applicants must meet the criteria and be willing to pay the fees associated. The 2022-23 transfer information must be completed and submitted by the July 15, 2022 deadline. Submissions will be time stamped. Transfers will be processed and reviewed on a first-come first-served, case by case basis. Incomplete transfer packets will not be considered.
Enrollment of nonresident students is based on campus capacity. In addition to serving those students who reside in the campus attendance zone, campus capacity is defined as accommodating additional students without incurring additional cost in the form of teachers or classrooms. Availability of space and instructional staff are factors considered when accepting and making placements of inter-district transfer students. Parents/guardians will be notified by no later than July 30th regarding acceptance and campus placement. Placement is solely determined by the District for grades K-6.
Please Note: Parents should not complete the MISD online enrollment process until being informed of the particular campus assignment.
Inter-district transfers are evaluated year by year, contingent on compliance with Policy FDA(LOCAL). The district reserves the right to discontinue this practice should it be determined that it is no longer economically feasible or that space is no longer available. Returning students must reapply on an annual basis.
Revocation of Transfer
Students who transfer into Midway ISD must follow all rules and regulations of the district, including, but not limited to, district policies and regulations, the Student Code of Conduct, and academic and attendance expectations. Failure to fulfill any of these responsibilities as described in FDA(LOCAL) will result in the revocation of the transfer agreement.
Factors
In determining whether a nonresident student shall be permitted to enroll in District schools, the Superintendent's designee shall consider the following factors:
1. The availability of space and instructional staff.
2. The student’s disciplinary and criminal record.
a) A student shall not be allowed to transfer into the District if he or she has incurred a disciplinary alternative education program (DAEP) placement or has been suspended or expelled for one or more days during the most recent school year.
b) Recurring or persistent disciplinary problems may be sufficient reasons for rejecting a transfer request.
3. The student’s attendance record. A student shall not be allowed to transfer into the District if his or her attendance records for the most recent school year indicate less than 90 percent attendance.
4. Whether the student made satisfactory academic progress during the previous school year. A student shall not be allowed to transfer into the District if he or she has not performed at or above grade level on the most recent state-mandated assessments and satisfied requirements for all academic courses from the previous school year.
5. Any additional factors not prohibited by law as deemed relevant by the Superintendent.
Tuition
The Board annually determines the transfer fee. The transfer fee for the 2022-23 school year is $1000.00 payable in equal payments of $500.00 before the first day of each semester. Revocation of transfer status will result if payments are not received on time. Payment can be made online at the MISD Webstore, in person at the Receipts Window at Midway High School, or at Midway Administration Offices.
Appeals
Any appeals shall be made in accordance with FNG(LOCAL) and GF(LOCAL), as appropriate.
