An act relating to virtual learning

This bill requires Vermont's Agency of Education to contract with a virtual learning provider to offer online education options to state students. It establishes eligibility criteria for full-time virtual learning, including enrollment in public middle or high school, approval through a personalized learning plan, and meeting minimum academic standards set by the agency. Additionally, the bill mandates that school districts count eligible virtual learning students toward their average daily membership for funding purposes. The legislation takes effect on July 1, 2024, and allows the agency to adopt necessary rules to implement these provisions.
