Transfers are processed on a first-come basis and considered individually at the time of their request by Lufkin ISD Superintendent and Principals. Therefore, parents should complete and return the application form as soon as possible.
Once a transfer application is completed it will be sent to the Principal of the appropriate campus for review. Depending upon qualifications and space availability, a decision is made regarding the transfer request.
Transfer students are approved for one school year only. All students must reapply each year. The approval of a transfer does not guarantee future transfer approval for the next school year. The student’s attendance and discipline during the current year will be evaluated prior to approval for the coming school year.
The parent will be notified as soon as a decision is made regarding approval or non-approval of the application.
