EXPLANATION
27
The
inclusion
of
this
explanation
does
not
constitute
agreement
with
28
the
explanation’s
substance
by
the
members
of
the
general
assembly.
29
Current
law
requires
the
state
board
of
education
to
adopt
30
rules
for
online
learning,
including
rules
prohibiting
the
31
open
enrollment
of
students
whose
educational
instruction
and
32
course
content
are
delivered
primarily
over
the
internet.
An
33
exception
to
that
prohibition
requires
the
board
to
adopt
rules
34
allowing
such
enrollment,
with
limitations
on
how
many
students
35

may
be
enrolled
statewide
and
per
school
district.
Until
June
1
30,
2018,
such
limitations
do
not
apply
to
certain
students.
2
The
exception
also
limits
such
open
enrollment
to
the
CAM
3
community
school
district
or
the
Clayton
Ridge
community
school
4
district.
5
This
bill
repeals
the
exception
to
the
prohibition
on
June
6
30,
2018.
At
that
time,
open
enrollment
of
students
whose
7
educational
instruction
and
course
content
are
delivered
8
primarily
over
the
internet
would
be
entirely
prohibited.
9
The
bill
also
strikes
language
providing
that
until
June
10
30,
2018,
limitations
on
how
many
students
may
be
enrolled
11
statewide
and
per
school
district
are
not
applicable
to
12
certain
students.
The
bill
removes
the
date
limitation
of
this
13
provision.
