14 7. Page 12, by inserting after line 20 the
15 following:
16 "Sec. 103. Section 282.18, subsection 3, Code
17 2003, is amended to read as follows:
18 3. In all districts involved with voluntary or
19 court-ordered desegregation, minority and nonminority
20 pupil ratios shall be maintained according to the
21 desegregation plan or order. The superintendent of a
22 district subject to voluntary or court-ordered
23 desegregation may deny a request for transfer under
24 this section if the superintendent finds that
25 enrollment or release of a pupil will adversely affect
26 the district's implementation of the desegregation
27 order or plan, unless the transfer is requested by a
28 pupil whose sibling is already participating in open
29 enrollment to another district, or unless the request
30 for transfer is submitted to the district in a timely
31 manner as required under subsection 2 prior to the
32 adoption of a desegregation plan by the district. If
33 a transfer request would facilitate a voluntary or
34 court-ordered desegregation plan, the district shall
35 give priority to granting the request over other
36 requests.
37 A parent or guardian, whose request has been denied
38 because of a desegregation order or plan, may appeal
39 the decision of the superintendent to the board of the
40 district in which the request was denied. The board
41 may either uphold or overturn the superintendent's
42 decision. A decision of the board to uphold the
43 denial of the request is subject to appeal to the
44 district court in the county in which the primary
45 business office of the district is located. By July
46 1, 2004, the state board of education shall adopt
47 rules establishing guidelines and a review process for
48 school districts that adopt voluntary desegregation
49 plans. The guidelines shall include criteria and
50 standards that school districts must follow when
