House File 97 - Introduced HOUSE FILE BY JONES A BILL FOR 1 An Act relating to open enrollment of students in online 2 learning programs. 3 BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA: TLSB 1074YH (1) 86 je/sc PAG LIN 1 1 Section 1. Section 256.7, subsection 32, paragraph c, 1 2 subparagraph (4), Code 2015, is amended by striking the 1 3 subparagraph. 1 4 EXPLANATION 1 5 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with 1 6 the explanation's substance by the members of the general assembly. 1 7 Current law requires the state board of education to adopt 1 8 rules for online learning, including rules prohibiting the 1 9 open enrollment of students whose educational instruction and 1 10 course content are delivered primarily over the internet. An 1 11 exception to that prohibition requires the board to adopt rules 1 12 allowing such enrollment, with limitations on how many students 1 13 may be enrolled statewide and per school district. The 1 14 exception also limits such open enrollment to the CAM community 1 15 school district or the Clayton Ridge community school district 1 16 until June 30, 2015. This exception to the prohibition of open 1 17 enrollment in online learning is repealed by its own terms July 1 18 1, 2015. 1 19 This bill strikes the repeal, allowing the exception to 1 20 remain in effect, but only as to the limitation relating to the 1 21 number of online learning students open enrolled statewide and 1 22 per school district.
