SB 5603: Online learning

Regarding online education.

Summary

  • The Legislature finds that a school district has no obligation to provide funding for online courses or to recognize online course grades on a student’s transcript if the student chose to take the approved online course. The Legislature intends to require school districts to offer approved online courses to students for credit, excluding those courses that are otherwise offered by the resident school district.
