Scurry-Rosser ISD adopts local policy to limit interdistrict transfers from 'F' districts
Summary
The board adopted Local Policy FDAA to address interdistrict transfers from districts rated 'F'; Dr. Blaylock said without such a policy the district would be required to accept those transfers.
Trustees approved adding Local Policy FDAA governing interdistrict transfers and public education grants. Dr. Blaylock told the board "there is not currently a policy in place that doesn't allow inter-district transfers of students from a district with an 'F' rating. Without this policy, we would be required to take those students." She also said she supports the district's current transfer approach.
The motion was approved on a recorded vote with six yeas and one absence. The new local policy gives the district a mechanism to manage transfer requests consistent with board direction and state rules; the minutes do not include the full text of the adopted policy.
Board members had no recorded amendments to the policy at the meeting; staff will implement the policy change through administrative procedures and communicate implications for transfer requests as needed.
