Florida starts online learning virtual school mandate - LAURA GREEN, The Palm Beach Post
Starting next school year, the first generation of Florida students can earn a diploma from their public schools entirely online, without ever setting foot in a classroom from kindergarten through 12th grade. A new state law requires districts to create their own full-time virtual schools, collaborate with other districts or contract with providers approved by the state. The law is believed to be the most wide-ranging virtual mandate in the nation. ''The rest of the country will be watching to see how it goes,'' said Julie Young, president and chief executive officer of Florida Virtual School and a board member of the North American Council for Online Learning.
