But last year, the district didn't notify families that their children could transfer until the school year was already well underway, so this year will be a better test for that solution.</p> http://houstonist.com/2007/08/16/hisd_leaving_ch.php#comment-1174825 http://houstonist.com/2007/08/16/hisd_leaving_ch.php#comment-1174825 Comments Thu, 16 Aug 2007 10:39:50 -0600 <p>One thing about kids transferring is that a kid is allowed to transfer out, but that doesn't mean another school has to accept him or her. The good schools are packed to the gills as it is. It's not like they have room to absorb all the kids from the low-performing schools.</p>
