Must a district provide drivers education to a resident student who is open-enrolled to a neighboring district, but who wants the district of residence to provide drivers education?
No. Iowa Code section 321.178 was amended in 2007 by having the following sentenced added to that law: “The receiving district shall be the school district responsible for making driver education available to a student participating in open enrollment under section 282.18.” A resident district may offer driver education to a resident student who is open enrolled out, but does not have to do so. The receiving district must offer driver education to all eligible open enrolled-in students.
