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 specify 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 consisting of three full or partial days of academic instruction. The previous language that stated students must be "able to be" seen has been deleted, streamlining the requirement.

The bill emphasizes the importance of student well-being and participation in the educational program, allowing for communication to occur either in person or through electronic means, such as turning on a webcam during synchronous online instruction. This legislative change aims to enhance the accountability and support provided to students in cyber charter schools. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
