relative to enrollment in public schools by children of school district employees.

This bill allows children of school district employees to enroll in the schools where their parents work, provided there is available space and no need for new classrooms or staff. It clarifies that these employees' children are considered non-resident students, meaning their home school districts are not required to pay for their transportation to the school district where the parent works. The bill also establishes that the employee's home district must pay at least 80 percent of the average cost per pupil for these students attending open enrollment schools in their resident district, while the remaining costs are covered by the parents through payroll deductions or district policy. Additionally, the bill specifies that if an employee leaves their job, their child can finish the current school year before returning to their home district.
