A bill that expands online learning opportunities to elementary school-age children has been passed by the Florida House.
The bill (HB 7063) was approved by a vote of 100-16 on Tuesday and now goes to the Senate.
It allows the Florida Virtual School to expand part-time course offerings to children in kindergarten through third grade.
The bill also removes the requirement that public school students spend at least a year in public school before they can enroll in Virtual School classes.
Supporters say it will promote school choice and support homeschooled children.
