HB1207

HB1207 clarifies what standards school districts can use when deciding whether to accept or reject open enrollment applications—limiting them only to program capacity and student-teacher ratios while explicitly prohibiting discrimination based on race, gender, religion, or disability. The bill also strengthens protections for siblings by requiring that if denying an application would separate children from the same household into different school districts, both the home and receiving districts must approve enrollment to keep them together.
