79-234. Enrollment option program; established; limitations.

(1) An enrollment option program is hereby established to enable any kindergarten through twelfth grade Nebraska student to attend a school in a Nebraska public school district in which the student does not reside subject to the limitations prescribed in section 79-238. The option shall be available only once to each student prior to graduation unless (a) the student relocates to a different resident school district, (b) the option school district merges with another district, (c) the option school district is a Class I district, (d) the option would allow the student to continue current enrollment in a school district, or (e) the option would allow the student to enroll in a school district in which the student was previously enrolled as a resident student. In the case of an event described in subdivision (1)(a) or (b) of this section, the student's parent or guardian shall submit an application to the new option school district within thirty days after the date of relocation or the effective date of the merger. This subsection does not relieve a parent or guardian from the compulsory attendance requirements in section 79-201 during the pendency of such application or approval.

(2) The program shall not apply to any student who resides in a district which has entered into an annexation agreement pursuant to section 79-473, except that such student may transfer to another district which accepts option students.
