A renewal application must be submitted annually for all out-of-district employees in order to maintain approved transfer status. 

Transfer requests are approved only when the student meets approved criteria (as listed below) and there is capacity to accommodate additional students at a school or in a grade level (elementary only). Parents requesting transfers are responsible for providing transportation.

The following are acceptable reasons for granting approval of an intra-district transfer:

Change of Residence (Student may remain at current school until the end of the current school year)

Other Acceptable Reasons

• A district employee may transfer his/her child(ren) to the school where he/she works.
• A district employee may transfer his/her child(ren) to an open campus.
• A district employee, with an approved transfer, whose job location changes due to reassignment, may apply for a transfer to leave his/her child(ren) at the current campus.
• A request made for a transfer to allow a sibling to attend the same school that another sibling currently attends.
• Serious medical/mental/psychological health conditions are approved reasons for an intra-district transfer if documented by appropriate medical personnel and if there is documentation that student’s identified needs cannot be met at the home campus. 
• A student is victim of a documented physical assault and if the student committing the assault is at the victim’s home campus.
• A student is a victim of documented bullying.
• When documented and unresolved student conflicts exist that cannot be addressed at the home campus, an intra-district transfer may be approved.
• Other Extenuating Circumstances.

An approved intra-district transfer request remains in effect until the reason for the initial request no longer exists. Upon completion of the student’s education at one campus level, a new transfer application will need to be completed but there should be no expectation that a transfer will be accepted to a middle or high school in the same feeder pattern.

Humble ISD shall not provide transportation for approved transfers. Transportation will be the responsibility of the parent. High school students are not guaranteed parking privileges.

The following are reasons for denial of an intra-district transfer:

• Overcrowded conditions at receiving campus or requires employment of additional staff; Campuses at 98% capacity or above will be closed.
• Record of poor attendance, late arrivals, late pickups, and/or disciplinary infractions at home campus.
• 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.
• Failure to meet deadlines.
• Failure to meet district criteria for an intra-district transfer.

The following are reasons for revocation of an intra-district transfer:

• Repeated failure to abide by the rules specified in the Discipline Management Plan and Student Code of Conduct or committing a disciplinary infraction that mandates removal to a DAEP or JJAEP.
• Documented pattern of late arrivals, early/late pickups, and/or poor attendance.
• Falsification of records will result in revocation of transfer.
• Failure to provide documentation of occupancy of a residence when a temporary transfer is granted based on an intended residence.

If the transfer is denied, the parent or person standing in parental relation to the student may appeal the decision only if the extenuating circumstance was not considered in the original application. Within three (3) business days of receiving notification of a denied transfer request, a request to appeal must be submitted by email to the District Transfer Office at transferrequests@humbleisd.net.

At the time of the request for appeal, the parent should also submit any additional written information and/or documentation that may assist in the appeal.
