SB 109

During the 2021-22 school year, this bill allows a pupil to attend a fully virtual

option offered by a nonresident school board or a charter school located in a

nonresident school district under the full-time open enrollment program. Under the

bill, a fully virtual option is an option offered by a school board or a charter school

under which a pupil receives all of his or her instruction through the Internet and

the pupil and the instructional staff member providing the instruction are

geographically remote from each other. The bill specifies that a fully virtual option

is located in the school district governed by the school board that offers the option of

the school district in which the charter school offering the option is located.

Under current law, a pupil may attend a public school in a nonresident school

district under the full-time open enrollment program. Current law does not specify

where a virtual program other than a virtual charter school is located for purposes

of the full-time open enrollment program.
