You're on that list for three years even if you make remarkable gains like we did. Even though students at Bryan Adams and 41 other Dallas schools are still eligible to transfer out, officials say it's not likely any school will be abandoned. I don't know too many of our campuses that aren't bulging at the seams so it won't happen in the near future for that reason anyway. Last year some 20,000 Dallas school students switched from one school to another for various and sundry reasons, but only 63 of them switched schools because they were in a low performing school. DISD actually picked up eight students from other districts who were in low performing schools.
Bottom line is it's a program that's been around awhile, but very few students take advantage of it.
State officials estimate only about 500 students statewide take advantage of the transfer law. All Rights Reserved.
