What’s in it
AI summary Parents can now move their children to a different school district if their job is located in that new area. If a parent misses the March deadline to enroll their child, they can notify the school districts that they have a good reason for the delay. The new school district must then review and decide whether to approve the request.1
Read the official explanation
This bill expands the definition of “good cause” to include a situation in which the child’s parent’s or guardian’s place of employment is located in a noncontiguous school district. The provision allows a parent or guardian to send notification to the school district of residence and the receiving district that good cause exists for failure to meet the March deadline to send notification of the intent to enroll the parent’s or guardian’s child in a public school in another school district. Under such circumstances, the board of the receiving district must take action to approve the request if good cause exists.
