This bill defines what counts as a "virtual program" in Kentucky schools and sets a limit on how many students can enroll in those programs for the rest of the 2024-2025 school year and all of the 2025-2026 school year. The emergency designation means it would take effect immediately upon becoming law rather than following the standard waiting period. Who it may affect: students and families considering or currently enrolled in virtual school programs, and school administrators managing enrollment.
