This bill expands the types of online classes offered as summer classes or interim session classes to high school pupils and to pupils in grades 7 and 8 that qualify for state aid. Under current law, for an online class summer or interim session class to qualify for state aid, the school board must determine that the class fulfills a high school graduation requirement in English, social studies, math, science, or physical education. This bill expands the online summer or interim session classes that qualify for state aid to include classes the school board determines fulfill a graduation requirement in health education or that count toward the number of credits the school board requires for graduation in any combination of vocational education, foreign languages, fine arts, and other courses.
