State funding to individual districts is based on student enrollment. For this reason, out-of-district transfers for intended residences have strict timeframes related to the expected date of occupancy at a residence within Forney ISD’s boundaries. This type of transfer should not be requested until the date of occupancy can be realistically met within the allotted timeframe. The parent/guardian of a family in the process of moving from another district to Forney ISD may apply for a transfer to enroll a student in Forney ISD early, provided the closing on the purchase of a new or used home will occur within 120 calendar days of enrollment.
In addition, parents/guardians are responsible for providing transportation to and from school if early enrollment is granted. Prior to becoming official residents of Forney ISD, students who become discipline problems or who have a documented pattern of late arrivals, late pick ups, and/or poor attendance may be withdrawn from Forney ISD. This application must be completed and submitted with the appropriate documents to the Director of Student Services for approval.
NOTE: This application may not be used as a basis for enrollment during pre-kindergarten and kindergarten pre-registration in the spring nor will applications for temporary transfer be accepted after Spring Break.
