What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Current law limits the number of nonresident school boards to which a pupil may apply to attend a public school in a nonresident school district under the full-time open enrollment program. Specifically, under current law, full-time open enrollment applications for a pupil may be submitted to no more than three nonresident school boards in any school year.

This bill specifies that an application submitted to a nonresident school board for a pupil to attend a virtual charter school under the full-time open enrollment program does not count for purposes of this limitation. For purposes of the full-time open enrollment program, a virtual charter school is considered to be located in the school district that authorized the virtual charter school.
