Board of Education; driver education programs; computer-based driver education courses; requirements. Requires the Board of Education to establish or approve and permits each school board that chooses to offer a program of driver education in the safe operation of motor vehicles pursuant to applicable law in order to provide, as an alternative to any classroom training portion, as that term is defined in the bill, of such program administered in person, a computer-based driver education course for any student who is enrolled in an online or virtual physical or health education program. The bill clarifies that the provision permitting any school board to provide to certain students a computer-based driver education course established or approved by the Board of Education as an alternative to any classroom training portion administered in person does not apply to the parent/student driver education component of the classroom training portion administered in Planning District 8 which, pursuant to applicable law, must be administered in person. The bill contains technical amendments.
