HB 520 Redistricting of school boundaries; assignment of students.
Introduced by: James M. LeMunyon | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Redistricting of school boundaries; assignment of students. Requires each school division that provides for the redistricting of school boundaries to permit any enrolled student who is assigned to a different school in the school division as a result of such redistricting to remain, at the request of his parent, at the school at which he is currently enrolled until he completes the highest grade level at such school. The bill permits each school division to require any parent who makes such a request to provide for the transportation of his child, at the parent's own expense, to the school at which the student remains. The bill specifies that (i) any enrolled elementary school student assigned to a different middle school or high school as a result of the redistricting of school boundaries does not have the right to attend the middle school or high school to which he would have been assigned before such redistricting and (ii) any enrolled middle school student assigned to a different high school as a result of the redistricting of school boundaries does not have the right to attend the high school to which he would have been assigned before such redistricting.
