An act relating to virtual learning

This bill requires Vermont's Agency of Education to establish an agreement with a virtual learning provider to offer online education options to state students. It sets specific eligibility criteria for students to enroll full-time in virtual learning, including being enrolled in a public middle or high school and having virtual learning identified as beneficial in their personalized learning plan. The legislation also mandates that school districts count eligible virtual students in their enrollment numbers and allows the Agency to create rules to implement these requirements. The changes take effect on July 1, 2024.
