Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to students; to amend section 79-215, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska; to change provisions relating to the preliminary enrollment in a school district by children of military families; to require that any preliminary or advanced enrollment provisions of a school district apply to students with an individualized family service plan or individualized education program or students that receive special education as prescribed; and to repeal the original section.
AI Summary
This bill modifies Nebraska school district enrollment provisions to expand protections for students from military families and students with special education needs. Specifically, the bill requires school districts to apply their preliminary and advanced enrollment policies to children of military families who have an individualized family service plan (IFSP), an individualized education program (IEP) under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, receive special accommodations under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, or receive special education services. These changes ensure that students with special education requirements have the same enrollment opportunities as children of military families when their parents are being stationed in Nebraska or transferred between military assignments. The bill aims to provide consistent and fair enrollment procedures for students with unique educational needs, making it easier for military families and students with disabilities to transition smoothly between school districts. The modifications are made by amending section 79-215 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, with the original section to be repealed upon the new law's implementation.
