Presumably if you are not going to school you aren’t allowed to do other on campus activities. So there goes the whole “ties to the school” argument. I get some kids have an IEP. So maybe just a small virtual environment should have been created for those kids who need extra services tied to APS.

It seems absurd that so much money was spent reinventing an inferior wheel. Shouldn’t APS have had an idea of how many teachers it could staff before it promised this learning platform to nearly 3% of the school population? I do feel bad for the families who signed up for this boondoggle. But it honestly never should have been allowed to have gotten to this point to begin with. We should have spent all that money paying tuition for other online programs + at home supplements.

A[b]gree that Virtual Virginia should have been done. However, I don't think they spent anywhere close to all of the allocated funds as of the start of school.[/b]

In that case, maybe they should stop spending and put the money in a fund for that new high school. Seems like they won't be able to get around building it now, given what a mess VL has been.[/quote]
