LB 61 Nebraska · 108th Legislature First Special Session

Require a school district to cover certain costs of a student that transfers from such school district as a result of discrimination

This bill would require Nebraska school districts to pay for the costs of students who leave their district because they were discriminated against. It defines discrimination to include excessive disciplinary actions or the denial of special education services. If a student transfers due to such violations, the offending district must cover the new school's costs up to twice the amount of state foundation aid the student originally received. The State Board of Education would have the authority to create rules to enforce these requirements.
