Kansas Statutes Chapter 72. Schools § 72-3713. Supervision by state board; rules and regulations; determination of graduation rate; financial incentives for enrollment prohibited

(a) Virtual schools shall be under the general supervision of the state board. The state board may adopt any rules and regulations relating to virtual schools that the state board deems necessary to administer and enforce the virtual school act.

(b) For purposes of accreditation by the state board, the four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate for a virtual school shall be determined by only including those students enrolled in such virtual school who had earned sufficient credits to be expected to graduate in the same school year as such student's cohort at the time such student first enrolled in such virtual school. The virtual school's four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate shall be determined in addition to the graduation rates determined for the school district that operates the virtual school and any other high schools operated by the school district.

(c) No virtual school shall offer or provide any financial incentive for a student to enroll in a virtual school.

(d) As used in this section, “financial incentive” means any monetary payment or award that is intended to encourage, entice or motivate a student to enroll in a virtual school.
