End of virtual K-8 schools (at least until next year) has upset some parents
Orlando Sentinel
Five years ago, Florida started two, online K-8 schools for students whose parents wanted them to study at home. The pilot project was touted as a way to reduce crowding in the state's traditional, brick-and-mortar schools.
This past school year, each of the two schools served about 940 students (the maximum allowed) and had long waiting lists, according to state officials. Students using the program studied at home under the supervision of their parents but had access to the private school's curriculum and certified teachers.
