HB289

Kentucky HB289 allows nonresident students to enroll in public school virtual programs, sets enrollment caps, and outlines reporting requirements.

Kentucky HB289 allows school districts to enroll nonresident pupils in kindergarten through grade twelve in virtual programs. Nonresident pupil enrollment is subject to specific requirements, including a cap of 0.85% of the previous year's total statewide student enrollment. The Kentucky Department of Education must monitor and report on nonresident pupil enrollment. The bill also mandates that school forms include information on reporting child dependency, neglect, and abuse. It outlines procedures for handling nonresident pupil enrollment applications and appeals.
