Iowa Admin. Code r. 281-17.12
If a school district determines that a student has been bullied or harassed, then the school will permit the student to transfer under the provisions of Iowa Code section 279.82. For purposes of this rule, "harassment" and "bullying" mean the same as defined in Iowa Code section 280.28. Subrule 17.6(2) and rule 281-17.10 (282) apply to transfers under this rule. A student who is enrolled in another attendance center within the same school district pursuant to this rule is eligible to participate immediately in varsity interscholastic athletic contests and athletic competitions as a member of a team from the receiving attendance center, notwithstanding any local policy on intra-district transfers and athletic eligibility.
