Bill > SB1370

This bill establishes provisions for adult students to participate in virtual school courses and programs in Missouri. An "adult student" is defined as a Missouri resident who is 21 years or older, lacks a high school diploma or equivalent, and has fewer than twelve credits remaining to complete their high school education (excluding career and technical education credits). The bill allows these adult students to enroll in state-approved virtual programs offered by school districts or public higher education institutions through the Missouri course access and virtual school program. Financially, the virtual program providers will receive a monthly state allocation of 14% of the state adequacy target for each successfully completed course, with a total funding cap equal to the state adequacy target. Importantly, school districts will not receive ordinary school revenue for these adult students and will not be required to report these students' information in standard educational reporting. The bill aims to provide flexible educational opportunities for adults who are close to completing their high school education but have not yet achieved their diploma.
