Current as of January 02, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

Sec. 6.5. (a) Notwithstanding this chapter, a school corporation shall accept a transferring student who does not have legal settlement in the school corporation if:

(1) the student's parent is a current employee of the transferee school corporation with an annual salary of at least:

(A) eight thousand dollars ($8,000);  or

(B) three thousand dollars ($3,000) earned due to being included as an employee in the extracurricular portion of the transferee school corporation's current collective bargaining agreement;

(2) the student's parent currently resides in Indiana;  and

(3) the transferee school corporation has the capacity to accept the student.

(b) If the number of students who request to transfer to a transferee school corporation under this section causes the school corporation to exceed the school corporation's maximum student capacity, the governing body shall determine which students will be admitted as transfer students by random drawing in a public meeting.  However, the governing body of a school corporation located in a county with a consolidated city shall determine which students will be admitted by using a publicly verifiable random selection process.

(c) Notwithstanding this chapter and IC 20-43, if a school corporation has adopted a policy of not accepting the transfer of any student who does not have legal settlement within the school corporation, the school corporation may not enroll and may not report for purposes of state tuition support a student under this section whose parent does not meet the requirements described in subsection (a).
