Sec. 6.7. (a) This section:
(1) applies to a school corporation that does not have a policy of accepting transfer students having legal settlement outside the attendance area of the transferee school corporation; and
(2) does not apply to a school corporation that has more than one (1) high school.
(b) Notwithstanding this chapter, a school corporation shall accept a transferring student who resides in Indiana and who does not have legal settlement in the school corporation if:
(1) the student attended an accredited nonpublic elementary school located in the attendance area of the transferee school corporation for at least two (2) school years immediately preceding the school year in which the student transfers to a high school in the transferee school corporation under this section;
(2) the student is transferring because the accredited nonpublic school from which the student is transferring does not offer grades 9 through 12;
(3) the majority of the students in the same grade as the transferring student at the accredited nonpublic school have legal settlement in the transferee school corporation and will attend a school under the authority of the transferee school corporation; and
(4) the transferee school corporation has the capacity to accept students.
(c) If the number of students who request to transfer to a transferee school corporation under this section causes the school corporation to exceed the school corporation's maximum student capacity, the governing body shall determine which students will be admitted as transfer students by a random drawing in a public meeting.
