NOTE: Due to the timing of the release of 2023 ratings, September 1, 2025 is the deadline for districts to notify parents of students assigned to a campus included on the Final 2025-26 PEG List which will be released in August 2025.

1. What is the PEG program?

In 1995, the Texas Legislature created the Public Education Grant (PEG) program (Texas Education Code [TEC], ). The PEG program permits a parent whose child attends a campus on the PEG List to request a transfer to another campus within their home district or to a campus in a different district. A list of PEG-designated campuses is provided to districts annually. Based on annual preliminary ratings release in August, districts must notify each parent assigned to a campus on the PEG List by February 1 unless otherwise directed by ������. Parents may then request a transfer for the following school year.

Through the PEG program, districts receive a slightly higher allocation of funding from the state for each PEG-transferred student. (The additional funding is equal to 10 percent of the basic allotment, which varies by campus.)

2. Which campuses are on the current PEG List?

See the Public Education Grant page for the most current PEG List.

3. Why does a campus appear on the PEG List?

Campuses that receive an overall scaled score below 60 in 2023 are placed on the 2025–26 PEG List. Please see the Public Education Grant page for the most current PEG list. For more information, please see TEC,  .

4. Why aren't charter schools on the PEG List?

Open-enrollment charter schools are schools of choice, and students at a charter school are eligible to transfer back to their home school district whenever they desire.

5. Do PEG calculations use the same accountability subset used for state accountability ratings?
Yes.
