  1  1    Section 1.  Section 257.11, subsection 6, Code Supplement
  1  2 2005, is amended to read as follows:
  1  3    6.  SHARED CLASSES DELIVERED OVER THE IOWA COMMUNICATIONS
  1  4 NETWORK.
  1  5    a.  A pupil attending a class in which students from one or
  1  6 more other school districts are enrolled and which is taught
  1  7 via the Iowa communications network is not deemed to be
  1  8 attending a class in another school district or in a community
  1  9 college for the purposes of this section and the school
  1 10 district is not eligible for supplementary weighting for that
  1 11 class under this section.
  1 12    b.  A pupil attending a class via the Iowa communications
  1 13 network which meets the requirements of subsection 3,
  1 14 paragraph "b", subparagraphs (1) through (7), for classes
  1 15 offered through a sharing agreement between a school district
  1 16 and a community college shall be assigned a weighting of
  1 17 forty=eight hundredths of the percentage of the pupil's school
  1 18 day during which the pupil attends the class via the Iowa
  1 19 communications network.
  1 20                           EXPLANATION
  1 21    This bill modifies the provisions of Code section 257.11,
  1 22 subsection 6, which currently provides that supplementary
  1 23 weighting is not available for classes taught via the Iowa
  1 24 communications network, such that this restriction shall not
  1 25 apply to supplementary weighting for community college=level
  1 26 classes.  The bill provides that a pupil attending a class via
  1 27 the network which meets the applicable requirements for
  1 28 classes offered through a sharing agreement between a school
  1 29 district and a community college shall be assigned a weighting
  1 30 of forty=eight hundredths of the percentage of the pupil's
  1 31 school day during which the pupil attends the class via the
  1 32 Iowa communications network.  This is the same level of
  1 33 supplementary weighing for which a pupil currently qualifies
  1 34 for nonnetwork classes offered through a sharing agreement
  1 35 between a school district and a community college.
