Creates, modifies, and repeals provisions relating to student transfers to nonresident districts
This bill expands student transfer rights by allowing any student to move to a public school in a different district starting in the 2027-28 school year, removing previous restrictions that limited transfers only to students from unaccredited districts. School boards must report their capacity to accept transfers, and parents must notify the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to request transfers, which the department will then assign to available schools. The legislation eliminates tuition payments between districts for transfer students and counts them as residents of their new district for state and federal funding purposes. Districts must also provide transportation to designated receiving schools and handle special education responsibilities according to specific rules based on the type of sending and receiving districts.
