     1  6 unnumbered paragraph 2, Code 2007, is amended to read
     1  7 as follows:
     1  8    The board of the receiving district shall enroll
     1  9 the pupil in a school in the receiving district for
     1 10 the following school year unless the receiving
     1 11 district does not have classroom space for the pupil
     1 12 or the receiving district's superintendent denies the
     1 13 request because of the adverse effect the transfer
     1 14 will have on the implementation of the district of
     1 15 enrollment's voluntary diversity or court=ordered
     1 16 desegregation plan pursuant to subsection 3.  The
     1 17 board of directors of a receiving district may adopt a
     1 18 policy granting the superintendent of the school
     1 19 district authority to approve open enrollment
     1 20 applications.  If the request is granted, the board
     1 21 shall transmit a copy of the form to the parent or
     1 22 guardian and the school district of residence within
     1 23 five days after board action, but not later than June
     1 24 1 of the preceding school year.  The parent or
     1 25 guardian may withdraw the request at any time prior to
     1 26 the start of the school year.  A denial of a request
     1 27 by the board of a receiving district is not subject to
     1 28 appeal.>
