What is the PEG program?
In 1995, the Texas Legislature created the Public Education Grant (PEG) program [TEC §§29.201 – 29.205]. The PEG program permits parents whose children attend schools on the PEG list to request that their children transfer to schools in other districts. A list of PEG-designated schools is provided to districts annually. By February 1, districts must notify each parent of a student in the district assigned to attend a school on the PEG list. Based on the February list, parents may request a transfer for the following school year. (For example, the list provided to parents by February 1, 2010 allows for transfer requests for the 2010-11 school year.) Through the PEG program, districts receive a slightly higher allocation of funding from the state for each PEG-transferred student.
