This bill would allow school district employees to enroll their children in the district they are employed in, as long as there is enough space and staff available. It also specifies that transportation services for these students attending a school outside of their resident district would not be provided by either the sending or receiving school district. The bill also states that non-resident employees of a school district can enroll their children in the district they work in, as long as there is adequate space and no additional staff or classrooms need to be added. If the employee terminates their employment, the student may complete the academic year and then return to their resident district. The bill also addresses funding, stating that there will be no tuition charge for a pupil attending an open enrollment school in their resident district. For non-resident pupils who are children of school district employees, the cost to the parents or guardians will be through payroll deduction or as per district policy. The bill would take effect 60 days after its passage.
