    12. Should your transfer application be accepted, Maypearl ISD shall not be responsible for a student’s transportation to Maypearl ISD.  A warning letter will be sent out to parents if the student rides transportation as a transfer student without prior permission from the district, failure to meet that requirement will result in revoking the student transfer after a second occurrence for the coming school year.
