Missouri's SB 291 empowers school districts to offer virtual education, enabling them to bill the state based on course completion rather than attendance hours. This innovative approach allows districts to receive 94% of the Average Daily Attendance (ADA) for full-time virtual students. By leveraging new student populations, including former private and parochial students, districts can access affordable, MO standards-aligned courses taught by certified teachers. With minimal financial risk, districts can broker a turn-key service package to enhance their educational offerings.
