Sec. 6.5. (a) Notwithstanding this chapter, a school corporation shall accept a transferring student who does not have legal settlement in the school corporation and who has a parent who is a current employee of the transferee school corporation:
(1) with an annual salary of at least eight thousand dollars ($8,000); and
(2) who resides in Indiana;
if the transferee school corporation has the capacity to accept the student.
(b) 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 random drawing in a public meeting. However, the governing body of a school corporation located in a county with a consolidated city shall determine which students will be admitted by using a publicly verifiable random selection process.
