HB 959 -- Open School Enrollment by Contract

Sponsor:  Schoeller

This bill establishes a procedure by which a school district or
an initiative petition may place the issue of open enrollment by
contract before the voters of the district to become effective
the following July 1.  A two-thirds majority of the voters is
required for approval.  Private schools that meet certain
conditions and public schools that are not in the district of
residence may become contractors.  The bill specifies how
contractors qualify, which students are eligible, how the amount
of the contract is to be calculated, when students may return to
their district of residence, and how districts may opt out of
open enrollment.
