Iowa SF2116 modifies open enrollment rules for pupils who are truant or chronically absent and those receiving online education.

Iowa SF2116 amends open enrollment rules to restrict transfers for pupils who are chronically absent or participating in an absenteeism prevention plan. These pupils cannot transfer until they are no longer chronically absent, participating in a school engagement meeting, or a party to an absenteeism prevention plan. The bill also removes a provision that allowed pupils receiving online education to transfer without restrictions. The changes apply to applications and notifications submitted after the bill's effective date.
