VIRTUAL SCHOOL NEWS FROM SPRINGFIELD
HB 2448 - the bill that will allow districts to host and be funded for true virtual programs by removing "line of sight" and other requirements - passed the House Elementary and Secondary Education Committee this morning with near-unanimous support. Some amendments underscoring virtual students' participation in state testing and special education are expected. For action updates, see http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=2448&GAID=10&DocTypeID=HB&LegId=44612&SessionID=76&GA=96#actions
HB 3743 - the bill to finally establish the Illinois Virtual School in statute - is understood to have died in Committee, along with HB 2591, a similar bill, likely because of objections by the State Board regarding oversight. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocTypeID=HB&DocNum=3743&GAID=10&SessionID=76&LegID=46539#actions
