LB 1243 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change school board policies and procedures relating to part-time enrollment

LB 1243 allows Nebraska public school districts to permit students enrolled in private, denominational, or parochial schools (or schools not meeting accreditation standards) to take courses part-time at public schools. It requires school boards to establish policies for such enrollment, including mandating a minimum of five credit hours per semester for students participating in public school athletic/activities programs, while prohibiting preference based on full-time status. The bill explicitly states part-time students do not qualify for public school transportation or reimbursement, and it repeals the previous version of this law. This directly affects students in non-accredited private schools seeking public school course access and public school districts managing enrollment policies.
