Appellants testified that Gabriel has ADHD in the areas of receptive and expressive brain pro-cessing. He has also been treated for anorexia. Appellants feel that the Council Bluffs District's block scheduling would benefit Gabriel's ADHD and health by reducing the number of stressful transitions each day and by allowing more time to work with the individual teachers in each of his classes.

We conclude that the record from the appeal hearing regarding Gabriel Hagen's situation does not present an appropriate occasion for the use of the State Board's discretionary power under Iowa code section 282.18(18)(2001). The record contained no medical records, scholarly research or opinions from health care professionals stating that Gabriel's conditions could benefit from block scheduling in the Council Bluffs District. Courtney Hagen's situation also does not cry out for State Board intervention. It was undisputed that Courtney has no medical problems or learning disorders that could be improved through the different schedule at Council Bluffs.

That the decisions of the Lewis Central Community School District Board of Directors' made on May 21, 2001, denying Appellants' open enrollment applications, were affirmed.
