1. When a board closes its elementary school facilities for lack of pupils or by action of the
board, it shall, if there is a school bus service available in the area, designate for attendance
the school operating the buses, provided the board of such school is willing to receive them
and the facilities and curricular offerings are adequate. The board of the district where the
pupils reside may with the approval of the area education agency board, subject to legal
limitations and established uniform standards, designate another rural school and provide
their own transportation if the transportation costs will be less than to use the established
bus service.
2. AlldesignationsmustbesubmittedtotheareaeducationagencyboardonorbeforeJuly
15, for review and approval. The agency board shall after due investigation alter or change
designations to make them conform to legal requirements and established uniform standards
for making designations and for locating and establishing bus routes. After designations are
made, they will remain the same from year to year except that on or before July 15, of each
year, the rural board or parents may petition the agency board for a change of designation to
another school. Appeals from the decision of the agency board on designations may be made

by either the parents or board to the director of the department of education as provided in
section 285.12 and section 285.13.
