SB 291 – This act provides that school districts that offer virtual courses to resident students shall receive state school funding. This act allows school districts to offer virtual courses through technological methods as described in the act that could take place outside of the regular school district facility. In addition, school districts may develop a virtual program for any grade level. For purposes of calculation and distribution of funding, attendance of a student enrolled in a district virtual class will equal, upon course completion, ninety-four percent of the hours of attendance for such class delivered in the non-virtual program. School districts must ensure that courses purchased from outside vendors are aligned with the Show-Me curriculum standards. MICHAEL RUFF
