| NE | Signed into law 04/2008 | P-12 | From the fiscal note: LB 1154 pertains to learning communities. Section 8 changes the requirements for transportation of students in a learning community. Free transportation is to be provided to a student contributing to the socioeconomic diversity of enrollment who is attending another school in the learning community, only if the student lives more than one mile from the school to which he or she transfers. The change may result in a minimal decrease in transportation expenses for affected school districts. Section 9 redefines focus programs, focus schools, magnet schools and pathways. It appears the bill clarifies that school districts may establish one or more focus schools or programs or magnet schools. There appears to be no fiscal impact for these provisions. Section 10 allows a school district to exceed its applicable allowable growth rate for expenditures to pay another school district for the transfer of land from such other school district to the district seeking to exceed its applicable allowable growth rate. Any increased spending pursuant to this provision will increase state aid, two years later. Schools are also allowed to exceed the allowable growth rate by the amount of estimated increased expenditures above that of the second preceding school year for telecommunication services and access to and transmission of data on networks in the first two years that a district participates in Network Nebraska, or in 2008-09, if the district participated in 2007-08.

| UT | Signed into law 03/2008 | P-12 | Modifies provisions allowing students to attend public schools other than their school of residence. Provides for an early and a late enrollment period and establishes different open enrollment thresholds for the early and late enrollment periods. Provides that a school is open for the enrollment of nonresident students if the enrollment level is at or below the open enrollment threshold. Allows local boards to permit enrollment of nonresident students in a school operating above the open enrollment threshold. Requires local boards to adopt policies on submission of applications by students seeking admission during the late enrollment period. Sets deadlines by which a district must respond to a student's application during the early and late enrollment periods. Provides exceptions to these deadlines due to specified circumstances. Provides for the use of a lottery system in determining which nonresident students will be excluded from continued enrollment in a school when multiple nonresident students have the same number of school days in the school. Requires local board policies to include policies and procedures to assure that decisions regarding enrollment requests are administered fairly without prejudice to any student or class of student. Provides that local board standards for accepting or rejecting an application for enrollment may include:
(1) Not having capacity in a special education or other special program the student requires
(2) Maintenance of reduced class sizes in a school using state, federal, local or school trust monies for this purpose
(3) Giving priority to intradistrict transfers over interdistrict transfers.
Provides that, with the exception of student transfer due to health or safety reasons, a student who transfers schools through open enrollment may not transfer to a different school during the same school year, although a local school board may adopt a policy allowing a student to exercise an open enrollment option more than once in a school year.
Provides that a student who is enrolled in a school that is not the student's school of residence, because school bus service is not provided between the student's neighborhood and school of residence for safety reasons must be allowed to continue to attend the school until the student finishes the highest grade level offered, and must be allowed to attend the middle school, junior high school, or high school into which the school's students feed until the student graduates from high school.
Requires local school boards to post data on the school district's Web site regarding school capacity and applications for enrollment of nonresident students.
