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).
There is no registration requirement, such as
the SEVIS registration requirement regarding acceptance of F-1 visa
holders. To enroll a J-1 visa holder,
all that is required is that the school be a public school district or an
accredited nonpublic school.
