GA HB100

Local school systems whose virtual schools enroll more than 5% "out-of-system students" (students residing in a different school system) must spend at least 90% of state funds earned for those students on virtual instruction costs, returning any excess to the state treasury.

Out-of-system students' academic achievement results must be included in both the virtual school's and the local school system's College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) data.

Local school systems or virtual schools with a CCRPI score below the state average for the most recently available previous academic year are prohibited from providing virtual instruction to out-of-system students; this provision automatically repeals on June 30, 2019.

"Virtual instruction" covers online instruction for grades K–12 but excludes instruction through the Georgia Virtual School, the state clearinghouse, or state charter schools providing virtual instruction.

The requirements cannot be waived for strategic waivers school systems, charter systems, charter schools, or under Code Section 20-2-244.
