Senate passes bill limiting student transfers for certain categories
Summary
Senate File 2351 restricts transfers for students who meet specified categories unless the receiving district approves; sponsor Senator Evans said transfers would only be allowed when students no longer qualify under the defined categories or the receiving district approves.
Senator Evans (Cherokee) opened remarks on Senate File 2351, explaining that the bill states a student who requests a transfer to another school shall not be permitted to transfer until they are no longer qualifying as part of the listed categories. He added that existing transfer requests by students in those categories would proceed only with receiving‑district approval.
Evans moved the bill for final reading and passage without recorded floor amendment. The Senate conducted a roll‑call vote; the secretary recorded 44 ayes and 0 nays and the chair declared the bill passed by constitutional majority.
The sponsor's floor remarks focused on limiting transfers for specified categories of students and preserving receiving‑district authority to accept such transfers.
