MT HB250

Trustees may deny out-of-district attendance requests for students who were suspended in any school district within the preceding 3 school fiscal years, or if accepting the request would cause the district to exceed maximum student contact hours or class sizes under Board of Public Education accreditation standards

District of residence must pay tuition and transportation costs for children with disabilities attending out-of-district schools when transportation is included in the child's individualized education program

Tuition for partial-year attendance must be prorated based on the number of days enrolled divided by the total pupil instruction days scheduled by the district of attendance

Students seeking remote instruction from another district are no longer required to enroll in the nearest district offering the course; they may now seek remote instruction from any district when their home district does not offer an equivalent course

Nonoperating school districts must use their nonoperating fund and impose applicable levies to satisfy tuition and transportation obligations for resident students attending other districts
