Bill Summary
Current Code section 282.18 provides that as a condition of open enrollment, the board of directors of the district of residence shall pay to the receiving district certain funding amounts described in Code section 282.18(7). This bill provides that for school years beginning on or after July 1, 2025, for each pupil participating in open enrollment, the board of directors of the district of residence shall also pay to the receiving district from the total amount received from the secure an advanced vision for education (SAVE) fund, an amount equal to the per pupil amount distributed to the district of residence from the SAVE fund for the previous school year. Moneys received by the receiving district shall be used solely for the purposes authorized under Code chapter 423F (statewide school infrastructure funding).
AI Summary
This bill modifies Iowa's open enrollment funding mechanism by requiring school districts to transfer additional money to receiving districts starting in the 2026-2027 school year. Specifically, when a student participates in open enrollment (a program allowing students to attend school in a district other than their home district), the home district must now pay the receiving district an additional amount equal to the per-pupil funding received from the Secure an Advanced Vision for Education (SAVE) fund in the previous year. The SAVE fund is a school infrastructure funding source, and this bill mandates that the transferred SAVE fund money can only be used by the receiving district for infrastructure-related purposes as outlined in Chapter 423F of Iowa Code. This change aims to ensure that receiving districts get additional financial support when they accept students through open enrollment, with a clear requirement that the funds be directed specifically toward school infrastructure improvements.
