AMENDMENT FOR PRINTED BILL
1215ya
___________________ moved that HB 1215 be amended as follows:
On the printed bill, delete everything after the enacting clause and insert:
" Section 1. That chapter 13-27 be amended by adding a NEW SECTION to read:
An alternative instruction program may elect to hold dual status as both an alternative instruction
program and as a private school. When an alternative instruction program elects dual status, the
program:
(1) Is a private school;
(2) Continues its status as an alternative instruction program and remains subject to the
provisions applicable to an alternative instruction program in chapter 13-27;
(3) Is not a nonpublic school as defined in § 13-37-35.1 and is not subject to the requirements
for nonpublic schools; and
(4) Is not subject to any requirements except those applicable to an alternative instruction
program.
Attendance in a dual status program complying with the alternative instruction provisions of
chapter 13-27 satisfies the requirements of § 13-27-1. An alternative instruction program may make
or revoke a dual status election at any time an excuse pursuant to § 13-27-3 is in effect by sending
a written notice to the applicable school board. The notice shall be maintained to the same extent and
in the same manner as excuses described in § 13-27-3. The dual status election shall remain in effect
until revoked."
