Answer:
The
following 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).
Such
students are non-residents; therefore,
it is not necessary to use open enrollment.
No district may receive state monies for the student, so there is no
need to insist upon open enrollment. The
student may attend any district that will agree to enroll him or her. In the case of an F-1 visa holder, the
student must pay tuition to any district of attendance.
