This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949, specifically focusing on the requirements for enrollee wellness checks in cyber charter schools. The amendment modifies Section 1748.1-A(a) to stipulate that a cyber charter school must ensure that each enrolled student is visibly seen and communicated with in real time by a teacher, administrator, or representative of the school at least once during any week with three or more days of academic instruction. The previous language that stated students must be "able to be" seen has been deleted, streamlining the requirement to emphasize the necessity of actual visibility and communication.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that this requirement can be fulfilled through students turning on a webcam during synchronous online instruction, thereby integrating technology into the wellness check process. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
