AI Summary
This bill establishes a public school open enrollment program to enable students in kindergarten through grade 12 to attend a school in a nonresident district. The program is designed to improve instructional and educational programs by providing opportunities for increased parental involvement, access to additional programs and classes, and alignment with parents' personal beliefs. School districts are not required to participate, but if they do, they must receive transferring students for the full school year. The bill sets requirements and procedures for student transfers, including application deadlines, standards for acceptance and rejection, transportation responsibilities, and funding mechanisms. The bill also includes provisions related to student eligibility for interscholastic athletics, special education services, and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's oversight and reporting requirements. The bill is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2023.
