Introduced
by
To revise various provisions in a law that limits public school students from taking more than two online “virtual” courses per semester. The bill would allow this for courses designed to meet a student’s “academic deficiency” in one or more subjects, or, in the 2020-21 school year only, if parents request this due to “health, safety, and welfare concerns related to” the coronavirus epidemic. The bill would allow funds to pay for students to take individual courses from online charter schools or public universities, while also establishing new standards and criteria these classes would have to meet.
