A bill for an act relating to the transportation to and from school of pupils participating in open enrollment.

Summary

The bill changes Iowa law so that receiving districts can send school buses into a pupil’s home district without a two‑mile distance cap, as long as the pupil’s residence is closer to the receiving school than to the sending district’s school. It applies to both small districts (under 2,000 students) and larger districts (2,000 or more) that meet specific residency and contiguity requirements. The change aims to give districts more flexibility in providing transportation for open‑enrollment students.
