(KNZA)--A proposed non-resident enrollment policy was discussed at this week's Hiawatha School Board meeting.
The proposed policy, which was reviewed by Superintendent Lonnie Moser, is the result of legislation passed and signed by Governor Kelly in 2022.
The law, which will take effect with the 2024-25 school year, will allow students to transfer to any school in Kansas as long as the school has space.
School districts are required to establish a formal policy on how they will handle the new directive by January 1st, 2024.
Like all districts, USD 415 will be required by May 1st of each year to determine the capacity of the district to accept non-resident students. The district also must determine the number of students expected to attend and the number of open seats available for non-resident students.
Non-resident students would be required to apply for enrollment in June of each year.
The Board approved holding a public hearing prior to their regular meeting on November 13 on the proposed policy.
