What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the number of pupils attending virtual charter schools

through the open enrollment program may not exceed 5,250 in any school year. A

virtual charter school is a charter school under contract with a school board in which

all or a portion of the instruction is provided through means of the Internet, and the

pupils enrolled in and instructional staff employed by the school are geographically

remote.

This bill eliminates the virtual charter school enrollment limit beginning in the

2010-11 school year.
