On March 9, 1989, Governor Terry E. Branstad signed open enrollment legislation for the state of Iowa giving parent/guardians "choice" in the selection of the public school district they wish to have their children attend. With this action, Iowa is facing a change in the educational system unparalleled in the history of the state. As Director of the Department of Education, I have strongly supported the concept of parent choice in public education, and I will continue to do so. Research on existing choice programs indicates that they improve parent participation into the schools, empower teachers as academic leaders, shift greater decision making to smaller administrative units, and produce encouragement for dropouts to return to school. They also create a revitalization and enthusiasm among many teachers involved in the programs. I am confident that parent choice in Iowa will result in greater effectiveness, efficiency, creativity, and accountability in our schools. The following points cover the major provisions of the Iowa open enrollment legislation: For the 1989-1990 School Year: * Parents/guardians who have been paying tuition for their children to attend a public school district other than their district of residence may continue these students in this program with the per-pupil cost paid by the resident district. * Parents/guardians who move out of a district anytime during the 1988-1989 school year may return their students to this district under open enrollment with the new district of residence paying the per-pupil costs of education.
