What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) publishes an annual accountability report for each school district that measures the school district's improvement. DPI must include in the accountability report certain information about schools in the school district. Current law provides that a virtual charter school is considered to be located in the school district governed by the school board that contracted to establish the virtual charter school. If a virtual charter school is established by more than one school board, the virtual charter school is considered to be located in the school district agreed to by the school boards that established the virtual charter school.
Under the bill, DPI is prohibited from including in a school district's accountability report information about a virtual charter school located in the school district if at least 50 percent of the pupils attending the virtual charter school are nonresident pupils attending the virtual charter school under open enrollment.
