virtual education program before July 1, 2020, must complete the

corporation under subsection (a) with the student's parent before the
student may participate in the school corporation's virtual education
program. If a student or student's parent does not participate in the
school corporation's annual onboarding process and orientation
established under subsection (a), the student may not participate in the
school corporation's virtual education program.
(c) Nothing in this section may be construed to prohibit a student
from otherwise receiving instructional services from the school
corporation in which the student has legal settlement. However, a
student who does not meet the requirements of subsection (b) may not
participate in the school corporation's virtual education program.
(d) An individual who is employed as a licensed teacher for a virtual
education program must comply with any mandatory licensed teacher
