This bill amends section 79-215 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to enhance the enrollment provisions for students, particularly those from military families and those with special education needs. It mandates that school districts allow preliminary and advanced enrollment for children of military families, provided that the parent presents military orders indicating their upcoming stationing in Nebraska. Additionally, the bill specifies that these enrollment provisions also apply to students with an individualized family service plan, an individualized education program under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or those receiving special accommodations or services under the federal Rehabilitation Act.

The bill includes several insertions to clarify the enrollment process for students with special needs and military families, ensuring they are treated equitably in school district admissions. It also repeals the original section 79-215, consolidating the updated provisions into a more comprehensive framework. The changes aim to streamline the enrollment process and ensure that all students, regardless of their circumstances, have access to education without unnecessary barriers.
