Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the enrollment and transfer of pupils.

This bill proposes to update Idaho code on "Open Enrollment" so that families can more easily send their children to the public school that works best for them. This is the first comprehensive update to the law in 30 years. Current law allows local school districts to opt out of Open Enrollment altogether, allows districts to chargeparentstuitionwhentheirchildenrollsfromotherdistricts, andallowsadministratorstodenyenrollment for reasons other than capacity, such as discipline issues or poor grades. Many school districts have modern Open Enrollment policies reflective of the new era of student mobility, simple transfer of data and up-to-date reporting. However, the law has not kept up and is outdated in a time when schools and districts are competing to offer new, popular and modern curriculum and programs.
