Information Regarding 2009-2010
Special Circumstances Transfers (SCT)
FBISD offers the Special Circumstances Transfer process for parents or legal guardians wishing to request a transfer for their child/children from one FBISD campus to another. The Special Circumstances Transfer Guidelines (2009-10 School Year) are provided to give all interested in-district applicants a chance to review the procedures prior to completing their applications. For the first time, a separate application has been created for each reason. All applicants are encouraged to carefully review the guidelines prior to completing and submitting the two-page application for the 2009-2010 school year. Note: FBISD employees should refer to the FBISD Pipeline for application information.
The Open Application period for Special Circumstances Transfers
for the 2009-10 school year has closed and is now limited to new
enrolles only. As of July 13, 2009, parents or legal guardians of
new enrollees to the district should send an e-mail to the Department
of School Administration - Student Transfers at studenttransfers@fortbendisd.com
or call 281-634-1117 to request the appropriate application. Prior
to requesting the application, parents and legal guardians should
carefully review the Special Circumstances Transfer Guidelines online
or request to review a copy at the school where they are enrolling
their child to determine if they meet the criteria for the type
of transfer they want to request.
