Attendance at adult high school completion program.

A. Any person lawfully present in the United States and who is

of legal age and a resident of this state, over the age of twenty-

one (21) and under the age of thirty (30), and who has not completed

the twelfth grade in school shall be given the same educational

privileges and opportunities provided by law for children over the

age of five (5) and under the age of twenty-one (21), upon

submitting to the board of education of the school district in which

the person resides, or the board's designee, evidence satisfactory

to that board showing that during the time before he or she was age

twenty-one (21) he or she was unable to attend school for a definite

period or periods of time, by reason whereof it was impossible for

him or her to complete the twelfth grade before reaching the age of

twenty-one (21). Provided further, the pupil shall be counted in

the average daily attendance of the district where he or she attends

school during the period of time provided for in this section for

the purpose of calculating State Aid for the district. Provided

that, beginning in the 2025-2026 school year, persons applying for

and approved to attend school in accordance with the provisions of

this subsection shall only be eligible if such district offers a

full-time virtual education program and such persons only utilize

the full-time virtual education program option for the completion of

their high school education.

B. Any resident of the state who is age nineteen (19) or older,

who is not enrolled in any high school program, and who has not

completed the twelfth grade may attend any adult high school

completion program which is established by a school district and

approved by the State Board of Career and Technology Education if

such attendance has the approval of the district offering the

program. Such attendance shall not be counted in the average daily

attendance of the district unless the Legislature appropriates

monies for adult high school completion programs. Such attendance

shall not be counted to meet minimum numbers for accreditation of

the school district involved, and such students shall not attend

classes which are a part of the normal class structure of the

district.

C. A person subject to the provisions of subsection A or B of

this section shall not be required to take the student assessments

required by Section 1210.508 of this title and shall not be included

in the reports required by Section 1210.545 or 24-120.1 of this

title.
