261E.7 POSTSECONDARY ENROLLMENT OPTIONS PROGRAM
PAYMENTS -- CLAIMS -- REIMBURSEMENTS.
1. Not later than June 30 of each year, a school district shall
pay a tuition reimbursement amount to a postsecondary institution
that has enrolled its resident eligible students under this chapter,
unless the eligible student is participating in open enrollment under
section 282.18, in which case, the tuition reimbursement amount shall
be paid by the receiving district. However, if a child's residency
changes during a school year, the tuition shall be paid by the
district in which the child was enrolled as of the date specified in
section 257.6, subsection 1, or the district in which the child was
counted under section 257.6, subsection 1, paragraph "a",
subparagraph (6). For students enrolled at the Iowa school for the
deaf and the Iowa braille and sight saving school, the state board of
regents shall pay a tuition reimbursement amount by June 30 of each
year. The amount of tuition reimbursement for each separate course
shall equal the lesser of:
a. The actual and customary costs of tuition, textbooks,
materials, and fees directly related to the course taken by the
eligible student.
b. Two hundred fifty dollars.
2. A student participating in the postsecondary enrollment
options program is not eligible to enroll on a full-time basis in an
eligible postsecondary institution. A student enrolled on such a
full-time basis shall not receive any payments under this section.
3. An eligible postsecondary institution that enrolls an eligible
student under this section shall not charge that student for tuition,
textbooks, materials, or fees directly related to the course in which
the student is enrolled except that the student may be required to
purchase equipment that becomes the property of the student. For the
purposes of this subsection, equipment shall not include textbooks.
However, if the student fails to complete and receive credit for the
course, the student is responsible for all district costs directly
related to the course as provided in subsection 1 and shall reimburse
the school district for its costs. If the student is under eighteen
years of age, the student's parent or legal guardian shall sign the
student registration form indicating that the parent or legal
guardian is responsible for all costs directly related to the course
if the student fails to complete and receive credit for the course.
If documentation is submitted to the school district that verifies
the student was unable to complete the course for reasons including
but not limited to the student's physical incapacity, a death in the
student's immediate family, or the student's move to another school
district, that verification shall constitute a waiver to the
requirement that the student or parent or legal guardian pay the
costs of the course to the school district.
4. An eligible postsecondary institution shall make pro rata
adjustments to tuition reimbursement amounts based upon federal
guidelines established pursuant to 20 U.S.C. § 1091b.
