The adolescent politics of virtual education - Tim Vander Ark, Huffington Post
The online opportunity for students and competition for districts varies widely by state. Florida created a statewide program in 1997 and now serves over 50,000 students. To promote even more competition, Florida opened the state last year to outside providers and encouraged districts to pick a partner. At the other extreme, Connecticut and New York have protected districts and limited opportunities for students with no online learning programs or laws. California limits online providers by county boundaries.
