AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION -- RESIDENCE OF CHILDREN FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES

Summary

The bill amends the state residency law so that when a public school still has open seats after its initial enrollment window, those seats must be made available to other children who live in the same school district. The Department of Education must create rules for posting and assigning those seats, and districts must report the numbers each year. The goal is to fill empty seats, ease overcrowding, and make school placement more equitable.
