RFISD Families,

 

The enrollment and transfer process for 2024-2025 school year has begun, and we wanted to review some important highlights in the process. Paper applications were sent home on Thursday, March 7, 2024 and Friday, March 8, 2024.

 

As a reminder, RFISD is required to serve all students living on Randolph Air Force Base. After establishing how many seats, services, and staff are available to ensure needs are met for Randolph AFB students, we will consider transfer applications based on priority order. This priority is determined based on the level of funding received through Impact Aid funds since that is a primary funding source for RFISD. RFISD does not receive any funding through state property taxes as most other public school districts in Texas receive.

 

Transfer consideration priority order:

  1. Active-duty or USC Title X military connected students residing on federal property other than Randolph AFB.
  2. Active-duty or USC Title X military connected students residing off federal property.
  3. Civilian personnel working on federal property.
  4. Retired military (20 years of service) and not working on federal property.

 

Other criteria that may exclude a transfer student from immediate approval:

  • Grades and academic record
  • Attendance, including tardies and early sign-outs
  • Discipline records

 

No transfer students will be accepted if they would require hiring of additional staff beyond the allotment made for students residing within the boundaries of Randolph Field ISD.

 

Applications for current students for the 2024-2025 school year were due by 3 pm on Wednesday March 27, 2024. Applications received after that date were automatically placed on the list with new transfer applications, losing priority order for returning students consideration.

 

Applications will be reviewed, and current students will be notified of one of the following by the first week of June: that their application is approved for next year, that they have been placed on a wait list and will be considered as additional seats become available, or that they do not meet qualifications at this time.

 

If you receive notification that your student has been placed on a waitlist, we cannot guarantee your child's acceptance for the 2024-2025 school year and advise that you enroll your child at his or her home campus in the district of your residence. Although we will continue to monitor the applications and fill seats as they become available, if you have not received an acceptance letter by July 8, 2024, it means that we do not anticipate having a seat for your child for the upcoming school year. 

 

Sincerely, 

The Transfer Consideration Team
