§ 115C-218.121.  Remote charter academy enrollment.

(a) A student shall not be assigned to attend a remote charter academy without parental consent. A board of directors shall require an application to secure parental consent prior to enrollment of a student in a remote charter academy.

(b) A remote charter academy shall identify characteristics for successful remote learning and establish criteria for admittance to a remote charter academy and shall make that information available to parents.

(c) A student may not be denied admission to the remote charter academy solely on the basis that the student is a child with a disability. If a student is admitted to a remote charter academy, that student's IEP team, as defined in G.S. 115C-106.3, or section 504 team, 29 U.S.C. § 794, must plan for a successful student entry and accommodations necessary to provide for a free appropriate public education in the remote charter academy.

(d) A charter that provides in-person instruction may reassign a student to in-person instruction during the school year if the board of directors determines that in-person instruction would better ensure academic success for that student. The board of directors may delegate this authority to the chief administrator. (2023-134, s. 7.26(a).)
