More Students in South Sound Log on to Class - DEBBY ABE, The News Tribune
Students have more chances than ever to go to school without stepping inside a classroom, as several South Sound school districts expand or start online programs this fall.... Meanwhile, Insight School of Washington, which started last year as part of the Quillayute School District, has registered 1,328 high school students this fall. That’s more than double its 648 enrollment at the start of the previous school year. Steilacoom Superintendent Art Himmler predicts even more growth in online instruction statewide. “There’s a huge need that this program has met for certain kinds of kids and families,” Himmler said of Steilacoom’s academy. Since Steilacoom was one of the first public school districts to offer an online program statewide, “folks came to us in greater numbers. I fully expect more and more school districts will offer an online alternative learning experience for students. … Kids will have a lot more choices.”
