Bill > H0616

This bill mandates that a school board must pay the full tuition for a student to enroll full-time in a virtual learning program, provided that the virtual learning provider is one that the Agency of Education (the state's education department) has access to and oversees, as outlined in a specific section of Vermont law (16 V.S.A. § 948). This requirement applies regardless of whether the virtual learning is part of the student's personalized learning plan and is initiated by a request from the student's parent or legal guardian. The bill also specifies an effective date of July 1, 2026.
