HOUSE BILL NO. 1860 Offered January 8, 1997 A BILL to amend the Code of Virginia by adding in Article 1 of Chapter 13 of Title 22.1 a section numbered 22.1-212.2:2, relating to part-time admission and enrollment of home-school students. ---------- Patron-- Wagner ---------- Referred to Committee on Education ----------

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding in Article 1 of Chapter 13 of Title 22.1 a section numbered 22.1-212.2:2 as follows:

§ 22.1-212.2:2. Part-time admission and enrollment of home-school students.

School boards shall adopt policies, consistent with their constitutional and statutory responsibilities for providing public education, for the part-time admission and enrollment of home-school students. Such policies shall require that the home-school student reside in the attendance district for the school he desires to attend, that the parent or guardian of the home-school student apply for the desired class or classes to the principal of the school and the division superintendent and, simultaneously with such application, that the parent or guardian submit evidence of residence and compliance with § 22.1-254.1. Approval for part-time admission and enrollment shall only be granted if the school has space in the desired class or classes after accommodating the pupils who are regularly enrolled in the school and the school division. Such policies shall establish procedures for (i) equitable student selection; (ii) protection from potential legal liability; and (iii) compliance by such students with all relevant public school policies during attendance time.

School divisions shall include students so enrolled in average daily membership.
