5. (a) A virtual charter school shall establish
and implement an annual onboarding process and orientation for virtual
charter school students and the students' parents. As part of the annual
onboarding process and orientation, the virtual charter school must
provide to a parent of a student:
(1) the student engagement and attendance requirements or
policies of the virtual charter school; and
(2) notice that a person who knowingly or intentionally deprives
a dependent of education commits a violation under IC 35-46-1-4.
(b) A student who is not enrolled in a virtual charter school before
July 1, 2020, must complete the annual onboarding process and
orientation established by the virtual charter school under subsection
(a) with the student's parent before the student may enroll in the virtual
charter school. If a student or student's parent does not participate in
the virtual charter school's annual onboarding process and orientation
established under subsection (a), the student may not enroll in the
virtual charter school.
(c) An authorizer shall review and monitor whether a virtual charter
school that is authorized by the authorizer complies with the
requirements under this section.
(d) An individual who is employed as a licensed teacher at a virtual
charter school must comply with any mandatory licensed teacher

(e) A virtual charter school must require that if a student who

not enroll a student unless the student is an Indiana resident. If the

virtual charter school is an Indiana resident, the virtual charter school
must pay back to the department the state tuition support distribution
in an amount determined by the department that the virtual charter
school received for that student.
