Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the contents of the bill as amended by Senate Amendment No. 1, with the following changes: removes a provision defining "course provider" as including a private for-profit provider; removes a provision providing that eligible funded students may seek enrollment in State Course Access Program courses that duplicate a course already offered at their public school; provides that for the 2018-2019 school year and thereafter (rather than just the 2018-2019 school year), students attending a public school who choose to participate in the State Course Access Program and entering grades 9 through 12 may take up to 2 courses per semester and corresponding changes; provides that public and charter schools shall inform students and families at the time of denial of their right to appeal any enrollment denials in State Course Access Program courses to the school board (rather than the State Board of Education); provides that a music or arts course (rather than a Civics course or a test prep or study skills course) is one of the types of courses that may be approved and added to the State Course Access Catalog; provides that a course provider other than the Illinois Virtual School may offer an online course only if the Illinois Virtual School decides to not offer the course via the State Course Access Catalog; removes a provision providing that the performance data of eligible funded students who are enrolled in a State Course Access course shall be counted in the school performance score for the school in which the student is enrolled full time; and specifies that course providers are only responsible for providing transportation for students who are enrolled in a free or reduced-price lunch program.
