1 1 Section 1. NEW SECTION. 282.9 ENROLLMENT OPTIONS IN
1 2 ADJOINING STATES.
1 3 1. Iowa students and students residing in adjoining states
1 4 that have reciprocal agreements may enroll in school districts
1 5 in the other state. In order to qualify for this option the
1 6 students must be residents of a county which is contiguous to
1 7 a state border.
1 8 The intention of an out-of-state student to enroll in an
1 9 Iowa school district shall be made known to the affected
1 10 school district before July 1 of the school year of
1 11 enrollment.
1 12 2. A non-Iowa student who resides in a school district in
1 13 a county that borders Iowa may enroll in an Iowa school
1 14 district if either the school board of the district in which
1 15 the student resides or the state in which the student resides
1 16 pays tuition to the Iowa school district in which the student
1 17 is enrolled, provided adequate classroom space is available in
1 18 the Iowa school district as determined by the board of the
1 19 school district. The tuition must be comparable to the
1 20 tuition established according to section 282.24.
1 21 In each odd-numbered year, before March 1, the state board
1 22 of education shall agree to rates of tuition for Iowa
1 23 elementary and secondary students attending in other states
1 24 for the next two fiscal years. The board shall negotiate
1 25 equal, reciprocal rates with the designated authority in each
1 26 state applicable to students who reside in another adjoining
1 27 state and enroll in an Iowa school district.
1 28 3. It is the primary responsibility of a parent or
1 29 guardian to provide transportation for students attending
1 30 school pursuant to this section. However, for any student
1 31 attending school pursuant to this section, the provision of
1 32 student transportation may be negotiated between the districts
1 33 of residence and attendance with consideration given to
1 34 differing transportation needs. Transportation options may
1 35 include bus service to and from the district boundary or to
2 1 and from a student's home.
2 2 EXPLANATION
2 3 This bill provides that students in adjoining states with
2 4 reciprocal agreements allowing Iowa students to enroll in that
2 5 state's schools may enroll in Iowa's schools if notice is
2 6 received by July 1 and there is adequate classroom space.
2 7 Transportation and tuition are to be negotiated, with
2 8 transportation negotiated by the districts, and tuition
2 9 negotiated by the state authorities designated in each state.
