120A.38 CLASSROOM PLACEMENT; PARENT DISCRETION.
(a) A parent or guardian of twins or higher order multiples may request that the children
be placed in the same classroom or in separate classrooms if the children are in the same grade
level at the same school. The school may recommend classroom placement to the parents and
provide professional education advice to the parents to assist them in making the best decision
for their children's education. A school must provide the placement requested by the children's
parent or guardian, unless the school board makes a classroom placement determination following
the school principal's request according to this section. The parent or guardian must request the
classroom placement no later than 14 days after the first day of each school year or 14 days after
the first day of attendance of the children during a school year if the children are enrolled in the
school after the school year commences. At the end of the initial grading period, if the school
principal, in consultation with the children's classroom teacher, determines that the requested
classroom placement is disruptive to the school, the school principal may request that the school
board determine the children's classroom placement.
(b) For purposes of this section, "higher order multiples" means triplets, quadruplets,
quintuplets, or more.
