206-41 Wyo. Code R. § 41-5
(a) Any student participating in one or more part-time virtual education courses shall remain enrolled in the district in which the student resides. This enrollment shall be considered primary enrollment as distinguished from any other enrollment arrangements. Unless specified as concurrent enrollment or dual enrollment, the use of the term enrollment in this section means primary enrollment.
(b) After confirming the intention of the student to participate in any virtual education course approved by the Department and offered by another Wyoming district that is an approved part-time virtual education provider, the district shall have not more than five (5) business days to verify concurrent enrollment of the student with the part-time virtual education provider and to enter into an agreement, as described in Section 10 of this rule, with the virtual education provider. Prior to completion of concurrent enrollment, a part-time virtual education provider shall be prohibited from collecting information from a prospective virtual education student without the consent of the district in which the student is enrolled.
(c) Any student who elects, with the consent of a parent or legal guardian if required, to participate in a full-time virtual education program offered by a district that is not the district in which the student resides, shall no longer be enrolled in the district in which the student resides. Such district, upon confirming the intention of the student to enroll in a Department-approved full-time virtual education program, shall withdraw the student from the district, if necessary, and confirm enrollment by the district that is the full-time virtual education provider within not more than ten (10) business days. The full-time virtual education provider shall formally document the student transfer and the request of student records by sending written notification to the district in which the student was previously enrolled. The two districts may enter into an agreement, as described in Section 10 of this rule, for any services or courses that are to be provided to the student by the district in which the student resides.
(d) Upon withdrawal of any student from a part-time virtual education course, whether withdrawal is initiated by the student or the district that is the course provider, the provider shall provide written notice to the district in which the student is enrolled within five (5) business days and the two districts shall work together to enroll the student in another course, which may be a virtual education course, if such enrollment is necessary to fulfill the statewide educational program required by W.S. § 21-9-101 and W.S. § 21-9-102. If the student is enrolled in a different virtual education course, a new course and services agreement shall be entered into between the districts in accordance with Section 10 of this rule.
(e) Upon withdrawal of any student from a full-time virtual education course or program, whether withdrawal is initiated by the student or the district that is the virtual education provider, the provider shall notify the district in which the student resides within five (5) business days and the two districts shall work together to enroll the student in another course, which may be a virtual education course, if such enrollment is necessary to fulfill the statewide educational program required by W.S. § 21-9-101 and W.S. § 21-9-102. If the student withdraws or is withdrawn from one or more virtual education course and elects to participate in a part-time virtual education program, the district in which the student resides shall enroll the student and establish concurrent enrollment with the part-time virtual education provider as required in paragraph (a) of this section.
(f) Any part-time virtual education provider and the district in which the student is enrolled shall agree on and clearly outline a process for sharing information on the student's progress, participation, and any changes in enrollment.
(g) Department data collection policies shall be used to document all student enrollments into a virtual education program.
(h) As outlined in Section 10 of these rules, a course and services agreement shall be entered into between any district which enrolls a student participating in one or more part-time virtual education courses offered by another district and the district that is the part-time virtual education provider or any student enrolled in a full-time virtual education program who participates in one or more part-time brick and mortar courses offered by another district.
(i) A district may allow a student whose custodial parent or guardian is on active military service, and leaves the state of Wyoming and whose custodial parent or guardian maintains Wyoming residency, to enroll or continue enrollment in a Department-approved virtual education program(s) provided that the student is able to comply with course-specific participation requirements and participate in all required state and district assessments in adherence with Department regulations, guidance, and instructions.
(j) In the event a student enrolled in a district elects to participate in more than one part-time virtual education programs, and through the combination of such programs receives more than fifty percent (50%) of the required statewide educational program as prescribed by W.S. § 21-9-101 and W.S. § 21-9-103, the district in which the student is enrolled retains the responsibility for enrollment.
