Bill > HB125

This bill requires the State Board of Education to adopt a uniform policy on residency requirements for children enrolled in public schools, which must be implemented by all local school boards. The bill does not abrogate the right of parents or legal guardians to legally transfer their children to another school district, but if they choose to do so, they must comply with the requirements of the state's transfer policy. The bill also brings forward existing provisions that allow certain exceptions to residency requirements, such as for children of instructional or licensed school district employees, and for children residing in geographical situations where another school in an adjacent district is closer.
