Bill > AB122

This bill makes several changes related to "microschools," which are defined as a program of educational instruction provided to a child by the child's parent or guardian or by a person designated by the parent or guardian that is provided to more than one family unit, no more than 10 family units, no more than 20 children, and at a physical location. The key provisions of this bill are: - Recognizing microschools as an educational option and allowing instruction in a microschool to substitute for attendance at a public or private school, with certain criteria. - Requiring the Department of Public Instruction to include information about microschools on its website listing educational options. - Allowing pupils enrolled in a microschool to participate in interscholastic athletics and extracurricular activities in the local public school district. - Modifying various statutes to include references to microschools, such as in provisions related to school enrollment reporting, high school diploma eligibility, and educational options. The bill includes a sunset provision where most of the changes related to microschools would expire on July 1, 2024.
