2012-2013 Non-Employee In-District Transfers
Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD offers in-district transfers as an option for parents/guardians who would like their student(s) to attend a campus other than the one for which they are zoned.

Transfers are granted based on a first-come, first-served basis as space allows.
