2024: Online Learning

Online learning provides opportunities for students to access curriculum and specialized courses in a flexible learning environment that might not otherwise be available.

The Superintendent or Designee will develop procedures to inform students, parents and staff regarding the online learning options. The procedures will include, but not be limited to, a description of student access to online learning courses/programs, student eligibility criteria, the types of online courses available to students, information on how to access opportunities, and methods the district will use to support student success.
