Authorizes and establishes standards for virtual schools or programs administering statewide assessments

HB 220 creates Missouri’s "Course Access and Virtual School Program" to provide statewide virtual education for K-12 students under 21. It establishes funding rules where state aid for virtual students is calculated based on their attendance (using a defined "weighted average daily attendance" method), requires virtual programs to report student data to host school districts, and mandates participation in statewide assessments. The bill ensures virtual students receive equivalent funding to in-person students, allows districts to approve course enrollment with parental input, and prohibits counting students beyond full-time equivalent for funding. It directly affects public school districts, virtual providers, and students seeking remote learning options.
