The commissioner by rule shall adopt procedures for reporting and verifying the attendance of a student enrolled in a hybrid course, virtual course, full-time hybrid program, or full-time virtual program provided by a school district or open-enrollment charter school under this chapter. The procedures must:
- (1) provide a district or school with flexibility to provide instruction over the Internet, through synchronous or asynchronous delivery; and
- (2) allow for the district or school to, without requiring in-person attendance or synchronous instruction at a specific time or location, receive the same amount of funding per student for a course or program described by this section that the district or school would receive per student for that course or program if the course or program was provided fully in person.
