Kansas SB45 modifies the calculation of graduation rates for virtual schools, excluding students who transfer to homeschooling or nonaccredited.
Kansas SB45 amends the calculation of graduation rates for virtual schools to be used for accreditation purposes. The bill specifies that only students who were enrolled in the virtual school at the time they first enrolled and who have earned sufficient credits to graduate in the same year as their cohort should be included. It excludes students who transfer to homeschooling or nonaccredited private schools. This change affects the metrics used by the state board of education to accredit virtual schools.
