§105.1. Transfer to schools in an adjoining school system; conditions; exceptions; funding
A. A pupil assigned to attend a public school which is located at a distance from the
pupil's home such that the time required to transport the pupil to the assigned school from
the pupil's home using the transportation provided by the school system is not less than one
hour may transfer to, enroll in, and attend a public school in a school system which adjoins
his own upon written application therefor to the superintendent of the adjoining system
provided the superintendent of the adjoining school system agrees to accept such pupil for
enrollment in a school in the adjoining school system.
B.(1) For such a transfer to occur, the time required for the transport of a pupil from
his home to the assigned school shall be documented to the satisfaction of the superintendent
of the adjoining school system.
(2) The documentation of the time required for the transport of the pupil shall be
presented to the superintendent of the school system providing the transportation. The
superintendent may dispute the accuracy of the documentation by requesting in writing,
within ten days of receipt of the documentation, a hearing on the question of the amount of
time required for the transport of the student before the school board of the adjoining school
system. In such a case, a hearing shall be held within thirty days of receipt of the written
request. The finding of the school board of the adjoining school system shall be final as to
the question.
C. In addition to all other requirements in this Section, for such a student transfer to
occur, the adjoining school system shall provide transportation for the pupil. The time
required to transport the pupil from his home to the school in the adjoining system to which
he is assigned shall be less than one hour.
D. In the case of the transfer of any student pursuant to this Section, the adjoining
school system shall notify the state Department of Education. The state Department of
Education shall adjust the allocation of money through the minimum foundation program
formula or any other monies appropriated and allocated among school systems based in any
way on the number of students enrolled so as to account for the transfer of the student.
E. The authority to enroll in an adjoining school system as provided in this Section
shall not be permitted and may not be exercised if doing so violates the order of a court of
competent jurisdiction, whether the court is a state court or a federal court.
