Update about Bright Futures as of October 13, 2023:
Brenda just got off the phone with Bright Futures people this morning. They confirmed that PEP will be treated the same as home education, which means:
Students will be able to switch between PEP and home education their 11th and 12th grade years without issue
PEP students will report volunteer hours to their districts (logistics on what this will look like at the district level are still being worked out).
These updates will be officially added to the Bright Futures website within the next couple of weeks!
(The Bright Futures question post in this forum has also been updated today to reflect this information.)
