College Station ISD school board members are told that the application period for out of district transfer students will be extended past the original deadline of next week.
Superintendent Tim Harkrider said during Tuesday’s regular meeting (February 17) that they have received 15 applications.
In response to an inquiry from board member and retired CSISD superintendent Mike Martindale, Harkrider said not everyone knows about the opportunity to attend next year at Creek View elementary and Cypress Grove intermediate school. Harkrider said he met last week with realtors in Bryan who were not aware.
The superintendent also said the first year of the program is the most difficult to recruit students, adding it will be easier in the future as word spreads about the district.
Harkrider said administrators will make a big push in May and June to recruit out of district transfers.
