  1  1    Section 1.  Section 282.18, subsection 7, Code 2009, is
  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    7.  A pupil participating in open enrollment shall be
  1  4 counted, for state school foundation aid purposes, in the
  1  5 pupil's district of residence.  A pupil's residence, for
  1  6 purposes of this section, means a residence under section
  1  7 282.1.  The board of directors of the district of residence
  1  8 shall pay to the receiving district the state cost per pupil
  1  9 for the previous school year, plus any moneys received for the
  1 10 pupil as a result of the non=English speaking weighting under
  1 11 section 280.4, subsection 3, for the previous school year
  1 12 multiplied by the state cost per pupil for the previous year.
  1 13 If the pupil participating in open enrollment is also an
  1 14 eligible pupil under section 261E.6, the receiving district
  1 15 shall pay the tuition reimbursement amount to an eligible
  1 16 postsecondary institution as provided in section 261E.7.  If
  1 17 four percent or more of the pupils residing in a school
  1 18 district participate in open enrollment and enroll in the same
  1 19 receiving district, the district of residence shall pay to the
  1 20 receiving district the percentage of the amount the district
  1 21 of residence receives under section 284.13, subsection 1,
  1 22 paragraph "h", equal to the proportion that the number of
  1 23 students enrolled in the receiving district under this section
  1 24 bears to the basic enrollment of the district of residence.
  1 25                           EXPLANATION
  1 26    This bill requires a school district with 4 percent or more
  1 27 of its students participating in open enrollment and enrolling
  1 28 in the same receiving district to pay the receiving district
  1 29 the percentage of a portion of student achievement and teacher
  1 30 quality program funds, under Code section 284.13(1)(h), equal
  1 31 to the proportion that the number of students enrolled in the
  1 32 receiving district bears to the basic enrollment of the
  1 33 district where the students live.
