(1)
There is created in the department the high school innovative learning pilot program to authorize full-time funding for students enrolled in grades nine through twelve in high schools operated by selected local education providers to enable the local education providers to provide innovative learning opportunities for high school students to support them in successful transitions from high school to postsecondary education or the workforce. The department shall administer the pilot program by reviewing applications and selecting the local education providers that propose an innovative learning plan that meets the requirements specified in section 22-35.6-104 and is designed to ensure that students enrolled in grades nine through twelve may participate in innovative learning opportunities before graduation. A local education provider that is selected to participate in the pilot program is authorized to count students who are enrolled in grades nine through twelve and are participating in innovative learning opportunities as full-time pupils for purposes of the “Public School Finance Act of 1994”, article 54 of this title 22, regardless of the actual number of teacher-pupil instruction hours and teacher-pupil contact hours for each pupil.(2)
The state board shall promulgate rules as necessary to implement the pilot program, including, at a minimum, application timelines and any information to be included in the application in addition to the information required in section 22-35.6-104 (1). In adopting rules, the state board shall ensure, to the extent possible, that a local education provider that is a school district that enrolls fewer than two thousand students, a school of a school district or of a board of cooperative services, a district charter school, or an institute charter school may submit a simplified application.
