Amends GS 115C-218.120 to now specify that a charter that includes a remote charter academy may do any of the following three things: (1) Provide only remote instruction to enrolled students served by the charter. (2) Provide remote instruction to students enrolled in the remote charter academy and provide in-person instruction to other students served by the charter.

(Was, the same as required of in-person employees of charter schools.)
