HB 883 Kentucky House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT relating to virtual schools and declaring an emergency.

This bill limits the number of students from outside a school district who can enroll in that district's virtual school programs. It requires districts to set a policy for nonresident enrollment and allows them to charge tuition fees for students who do not live in the district. The law establishes enrollment caps, starting with a statewide limit of 1% of total student enrollment and a district-specific limit of 10% of each district's student enrollment, with specific exceptions for military dependents, siblings, and students with medical needs. School districts must report enrollment data to the state, and the department will monitor and enforce these limits, with a provision that districts must stop accepting nonresident virtual students after June 30, 2028, unless further permission is granted.
