Oregon Senate passes bill to create ‘virtual school district’- Associated Press
Oregon would have a new “virtual school district” — offering distance-learning courses to K-12 schools — under a bill that passed the Senate Thursday. The bill allows the Oregon Department of Education to create an “Oregon Virtual School District,” which would contract with established programs to provide selected online courses. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Richard Devlin, D-Tualatin, calls for transferring $2 million from the state schools budget to fund the virtual school’s startup costs.
