The purpose of this bill is to expand the E-academy Program within the Department of Education (DOE).

Upon further consideration, your Committee has amended this bill by deleting its contents and replacing them with the substance of S.B. No. 1292.

No. 9, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance, in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 9, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Education,
