This answer
deals exclusively with non-immigrant students;
that is, students who are not residents of the United States and who are
in this country temporarily. If a
student who is not a citizen of the United States nevertheless lives in Iowa with
his or her parents, the school district of residence is required to provide
a tuition-free education to that student.
This is true even if the parents of the student are in this country
illegally. See Plyler v. Doe, 457
U.S. 202, 102 S.Ct. 2382, 72 L.Ed.2d 786 (1982).
No,
there is no requirement that a district enroll a foreign exchange student
living with a family in the district.
However, if a district has a policy of not enrolling foreign exchange
students, this agency urges the district to make that policy known to the
district patrons to avoid problems.
