  1  1    Section 1.  Section 282.9, subsection 1, Code 2005, is
  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    1.  Notwithstanding sections 275.55A, 256F.4, and 282.18,
  1  4 or any other provision to the contrary, prior to knowingly
  1  5 enrolling an individual who is required to register as a sex
  1  6 offender under chapter 692A, but who is otherwise eligible to
  1  7 enroll in a public school, the board of directors of a school
  1  8 district shall determine the educational placement of the
  1  9 individual.  Upon receipt of notice that a student who is
  1 10 currently enrolled in the district is required to register as
  1 11 a sex offender under chapter 692A, the board of directors of
  1 12 the school of enrollment shall determine the educational
  1 13 placement of the student.  The tentative agenda for the
  1 14 meeting of the board of directors at which the board will
  1 15 consider such enrollment or educational placement shall
  1 16 specifically state that the board is considering the
  1 17 enrollment or educational placement of an individual who is
  1 18 required to register as a sex offender under chapter 692A.  If
  1 19 the individual is denied enrollment in a school district under
  1 20 this section, the school district of residence shall provide
  1 21 the individual with educational services in an alternative
  1 22 setting.
  1 23                           EXPLANATION
  1 24    This bill makes clear that when the board of directors of a
  1 25 school district is notified that a student currently enrolled
  1 26 in the school district is required to register as a sex
  1 27 offender, the board must determine the educational placement
  1 28 of the student.
