What’s in it

AI summary If a student moves to a new school district in the middle of the year, this law changes which district pays for their open enrollment. Instead of using the student's original home district, the district where they live on the official enrollment count date will be responsible for the costs. This rule applies to school years starting on or after July 1, 2021.1

Read the official explanation

This bill relates to the determination of a student’s district of residence for purposes of open enrollment payments when the parent or guardian of an open-enrolled student moves to a different school district during the course of either district’s academic year. Under the bill, the child’s district of residence as determined on the date of the basic enrollment count for school districts, rather than the child’s first district of residence, shall be responsible for payment of the applicable costs to the receiving district. The bill applies to school years beginning on or after July 1, 2021.
