A bill for an act relating to open enrollment, including by modifying provisions related to the open enrollment of pupils who are truant or chronically absent and children receiving educational instruction and course content delivered primarily over the internet, and including applicability provisions.

Summary

The bill changes Iowa’s open‑enrollment law so students who are suspended, expelled, chronically absent, in a school‑engagement meeting, or on an absenteeism plan cannot transfer to another district until those issues are resolved, unless the receiving district agrees. It also eliminates a provision that let online‑learning students bypass enrollment deadlines. The changes affect students, parents, and school districts by adding new transfer restrictions and simplifying deadline rules.
