The bill allows receiving districts to prohibit truant pupils from remaining enrolled and requires sending districts to enroll them back.

  • Section 282.18

    11A. a. If a pupil participating in open enrollment is truant as defined in section 299.8, the receiving district may prohibit the pupil from remaining enrolled in the receiving district and from enrolling in the receiving district in the future.

    A receiving district can remove truant pupils and block future enrollment.

  • Section 282.18

    A receiving district shall send notification of the receiving district’s decision to prohibit the pupil from remaining enrolled in the receiving district pursuant to this paragraph to the pupil’s parent or guardian and to the pupil’s sending district.

    The receiving district is required to notify relevant parties about the prohibition of the truant pupil.

  • Section 282.18

    b. The sending district shall enroll the pupil who is prohibited from remaining enrolled in the receiving district pursuant to paragraph “a”.

    The sending district must readmit the truant pupil after they are prohibited from the receiving district.

  • Section 282.18

    c. This subsection shall not be construed to prohibit the pupil’s parent or guardian from filing a request to transfer pursuant to subsection 2, paragraph “a”, subsequent to the receiving district’s decision to prohibit the pupil from remaining enrolled in the receiving district.

    Parents still have the option to request open enrollment after a prohibition due to truancy.
