This bill amends Section 299.2 of the Iowa Code to modify school attendance requirements for children who are either undergoing military entrance processing or are engaged in military service. It introduces two new subsections that define these categories: one for military applicants undergoing military entrance processing and another for those engaged in military service.

The current law mandates that parents or guardians ensure their children of compulsory attendance age attend public or accredited nonpublic schools, or receive private instruction. However, the bill adds exemptions for children in the newly defined categories, allowing them to be excused from the standard attendance requirements, similar to other existing exemptions for various circumstances such as graduation or religious instruction.
