28
1.
The
general

finds
and
declares
the
29
following:
30
a.
That
prior
legislative
enactments
on
the
use
of
31
telecommunications
in
elementary
and
secondary
school
32
classes
and
courses
did
not
contemplate
and
were
not

intended

authorize
participation
in
open

34
under
section
282.18
for
purposes
of
attending
35
online
schools,
contracts
to
provide
exclusively
or
36
predominantly
online
coursework
to
students,
or
online
37
coursework
that
does
not
use
teachers
licensed
under
38
chapter
272
for
instruction
and
supervision.
39
b.
That
online
learning
technology
has
moved
40
ahead
of
Iowa’s
statutory
framework
and
the
current
41
administrative
rules
of
the
state
board,
promulgated
42
over
twenty
years
ago,
are
inadequate
to
regulate
43
today’s
virtual
opportunities.
44
c.
That
telecommunications
and
online
learning
are
45
important
educational
tools
to
supplement
but
not
to
46
replace
education
provided
by
