SPECIAL APPLICATION -- TECHNOLOGICAL INSTRUCTION. For the 12 school years 1998-99 and 1999-2000, in order to acquire and maintain technol- 13 ogy for individualized computer and/or distance learning programs, a school 14 district may use student's documented contact hours on individualized computer 15 education or distance learning programs in determining the district's average 16 daily attendance, whether the student is actually in the computer lab or dis- 17 tance learning center, or has logged on to the computer from another location. 18 A district's technology instruction programs shall be subject to the following 19 provisions: 20 (1) The certification requirements for an alternative school using the 21 individualized computer education or distance learning program may be met by 22 having a properly certificated teacher available on a consultant tutorial 23 basis. The consultant tutors will be available by telephone, fax, e-mail, or 24 in person at the school site on a daily basis. 25 (2) Districts claiming average daily attendance pursuant to this section 26 shall submit annual evaluations of the program to the state board of educa- 27 tion. 28 (3) Districts may offer individualized computer education or distance 29 learning programs on a calendar which may differ from the rest of the 30 district's instruction, but in no case may a district claim more average daily 31 attendance for a student than the full-time equivalency of a regular term of 32 attendance for a single student. 33 (4) Nonalternative high school students may receive individualized com- 34 puter education or distance learning instruction and credit through an alter- 35 native school site.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 08007C1

apportionment to be used for technology instruction programs either through individual tutorial
learning or through distance learning programs. It sets for the requirements of the technology
programs in order to qualify for apportionment funding.
FISCAL IMPACT
The bill has no fiscal direct impact since appropriated funds are being redistributed. The bill
may encourage school districts to become more efficient in implementing technology and minimizing
related labor expenditures.
