This bill amends Section 299.2 of the Code of Iowa 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 expands the list of exemptions from this requirement to include children in the newly defined categories related to military service, thereby providing them with additional flexibility regarding their school attendance obligations.
