Affected: IC 20-24-7

Sec. 4.

(a) If IC 20-24 requires that a minimum percentage of the students enrolled in the virtual charter school must have been included in the ADM count for the previous school year, all of the following apply:
(1) A virtual charter school shall follow the department's procedures to verify whether a student to be enrolled in the virtual charter school was included in the ADM count of the previous school year.
(2) If a virtual charter school enrolls a student who was included in the ADM count for the previous school year and that student subsequently withdraws, the virtual charter school is not required to terminate enrollment of a student who was not included in the ADM count of the previous school year in order to comply with the minimum percentage. However, the virtual charter school shall not enroll additional students not included in the ADM count of the previous year until the school complies with the minimum percentage by enrolling additional students who were included in the ADM count of the previous school year.
(b) A virtual charter school shall not include a student in the ADM count for the current school year unless the school is providing educational services to the student on the ADM count date. Educational services include the following:
(1) Instruction in an approved course or curriculum under the direction of a teacher.
(2) Affirmative steps necessary to provide instruction, such as the following:
(A) Delivery of computer hardware.
(B) Training in the use of the hardware and necessary software.

A virtual charter school is not providing educational services to a student if it has only accepted, processed, or approved a student's application but has not yet provided instruction or taken affirmative steps to provide instruction to the student.

(c) A virtual charter school shall document and report to the department the attendance of its students consistent with the department's reporting requirements or other reporting method approved by the department.
