The bill amends section 1002.37 of the Florida Statutes, which governs the Florida Virtual School. Key changes include the removal of provisions that previously prioritized certain students for admission, such as those in home education or those needing access to higher-level courses. The bill now states that the Florida Virtual School will serve all students in the state who meet the profile for success in this educational context. Additionally, the bill revises the governance structure of the board of trustees, allowing for meetings to be called by the board chair or at the request of the president and chief executive officer of the Florida Virtual School. It also authorizes the board to use supplemental funding sources for developing a technology-based education delivery system and allows the school to accrue revenue from direct-support organizations.

Further amendments include the removal of requirements for the board to establish performance and accountability measures and to submit detailed reports on operations and marketing plans. The bill also updates the language regarding personnel policies, stating that all employees must be state employees for retirement benefits eligibility. The board of trustees is now empowered to enter into contracts and agreements with various entities, enhancing its ability to generate revenue and support its mission. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
