What laws, policies or guidelines must a school district follow in determining which school in its district a child should attend?
Section 25.031, Texas Education Code, empowers the school board to “assign and transfer any student from one school facility or classroom to another within its jurisdiction”. The locally elected board makes that call, with a few exceptions in districts that continue to be covered by a federal desegregation order. A parent can petition for a transfer under Section 25.033, but the final decision rests with the board.
