Bill > SB1051

This bill establishes a public school open enrollment program that allows students to attend public schools, including charter schools, in nonresident districts subject to certain limitations. Key provisions include: allowing school districts and charter schools to choose whether to participate in the program, establishing guidelines for determining the number of transfers and standards for accepting or rejecting transfer applications, requiring nonresident districts to accept credits and award diplomas to transferring students, and providing transportation cost reimbursements for qualifying low-income students. The bill also creates the Parent Public School Choice Fund to compensate participating school districts and charter schools. The program will begin in the 2025-2026 school year.
