AI Summary
This bill removes existing restrictions on enrollment in virtual public charter schools in Oregon. Specifically, the legislation eliminates the current cap that limits virtual charter school enrollment to no more than three percent of students in a school district. Under the new provisions, students will no longer need to obtain approval from their resident school district before enrolling in a virtual public charter school not sponsored by that district. The bill also removes the requirement that school districts provide information about alternative online options when denying enrollment to a virtual charter school. These changes aim to increase flexibility and access to virtual education options for students. The amendments will become operative on July 1, 2025, and will first apply to the 2025-2026 school year. The bill declares an emergency, which means it will take effect immediately upon passage, allowing for immediate implementation of the enrollment changes. By removing bureaucratic barriers, the legislation seeks to make virtual public charter schools more accessible to students across Oregon.
