Replacing statutory references to alternative learning experiences with remote and hybrid learning.

HB 2142 updates Washington state education laws by replacing the term "alternative learning experiences" with "remote and hybrid learning" in multiple statutes. It defines specific course types (like "remote course" and "site-based course") and requires written student learning plans for these programs. The bill clarifies that school districts must follow funding rules for remote/hybrid courses, prohibits compensating students or parents for enrollment, and bans districts from purchasing non-curricular services exclusively for these students. It directly affects school districts administering remote or hybrid learning programs and ensures these courses meet state accountability standards for funding. The changes aim to address financial accountability concerns raised by growing enrollment in these learning models.
