Allows nonresident students to enroll in Kansas school districts with open seats, with specific provisions for military, homeless, and foreign.

This bill allows nonresident students to enroll in Kansas school districts starting in the 2024-2025 school year if there are open seats. School districts must determine capacity and publish available seats annually. Military students, homeless students, and foreign exchange students with host families are exempt from the open-seat lottery. The bill also mandates annual reporting to the state department of education on nonresident student transfers and requires an audit by the legislative post audit committee.
