H 237 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

EDUCATION – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding school transfer enrollment options.

This Idaho bill (H 237) revises school transfer enrollment rules to make it easier for families to move students between districts or within their home district. It requires school districts to adopt non-discriminatory enrollment policies (prohibiting bias based on race, disability, or socioeconomic status), sets a February 1 application deadline for next year's enrollment, and mandates districts to respond to transfer requests within 60 days. Districts may deny transfers only for documented expulsion, serious disciplinary issues, chronic absenteeism, or lack of space, and must explain denials. The bill also waives tuition for transfer students and ensures continued access to extracurricular activities, with transportation responsibility falling to parents.
