Bill Requiring School Districts to Post Open Enrollment Info Killed

The House Education Committee killed Monday a bill that would have required school districts to post open enrollment information prominently on their websites.

HB 1214, sponsored by Rep. Ken Summers, R-Lakewood, would have made it much easier for parents to learn the dates by which the state's school districts require applications for enrollment in schools available for open enrollment to be submitted, as well as the schools with available slots.
