Option Enrollment

The option shall be available once during elementary school, once during middle school or junior high school, and once during high school for a total of three times to each student, except that the option does not count toward such limitation if such option meets or is met at the time of the option as prescribed in Section 79-234 of the Nebraska Revised Statute.
