EXPLANATION
4
The
inclusion
of
this
explanation
does
not
constitute
agreement
with
5
the
explanation’s
substance
by
the
members
of
the
general
assembly.
6
Current
law
requires
the
state
board
of
education
to
adopt
7
rules
for
online
learning,
including
rules
prohibiting
the
8
open
enrollment
of
students
whose
educational
instruction
and
9
course
content
are
delivered
primarily
over
the
internet.
An
10
exception
to
that
prohibition
requires
the
board
to
adopt
rules
11
allowing
such
enrollment,
with
limitations
on
how
many
students
12
may
be
enrolled
statewide
and
per
school
district.
The
13
exception
also
limits
such
open
enrollment
to
the
CAM
community
14
school
district
or
the
Clayton
Ridge
community
school
district
15
until
June
30,
2015.
This
exception
to
the
prohibition
of
open
16
enrollment
in
online
learning
is
repealed
by
its
own
terms
July
17
1,
2015.
18
This
bill
strikes
the
repeal,
allowing
the
exception
to
19
remain
in
effect,
but
only
as
to
the
limitation
relating
to
the
20
number
of
online
learning
students
open
enrolled
statewide
and
21
per
school
district.
