Senate Bill 289, passed in 2012, directs the state Board of Education to maximize the number of students who use digital learning to complete high school coursework in some way, shape, or form. This effort to boost participation began with students entering 9th grade during the 2014-2015 school year. In addition, all end of course examinations will be available online starting the 2015-2016 school year. This law doesn’t make online learning mandatory for Georgia students.
