Iowa SF2351 amends open enrollment rules for pupils who are truant or chronically absent.

Iowa SF2351 modifies the open enrollment process for pupils who are truant or chronically absent. It prohibits pupils who are suspended or expelled from transferring until they are reinstated in their sending district. However, if a pupil applies for reinstatement and is not reinstated, the receiving district may deny the transfer request. For pupils who are chronically absent, participating in a school engagement meeting, or under an absenteeism prevention plan, the bill prohibits transfers until the pupil is no longer chronically absent, participating in the meeting, or under the plan.
