Bill > H747

This bill amends Chapter 370 of the Acts of 2012 to expand virtual school enrollment options for students participating in school choice programs in Massachusetts. Specifically, the bill allows students who are part of the school choice program (as defined in section 12B of chapter 76 of the Massachusetts General Laws) to enroll in virtual schools operated by the accepting school district, regardless of any existing legal restrictions. School choice programs typically enable students to attend public schools outside their residential district, and this bill would now explicitly permit these students to access virtual school options within the accepting district. The legislation removes previous barriers that may have limited virtual school enrollment for school choice students, potentially providing more flexible educational opportunities for students who might benefit from online learning environments.
