[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at the conversation, and the data, I think a fair and reasonable solution would be:

1) Eliminate MVA for K-5, as it is not working

2) Keep MVA for 6-12, but only for kids for whom it is necessary. Essentially, require a 504 or IEP the way you would any other accommodation that fits under FAPE.

3) Reconfirm with home schools their obligation to include MVA students in extracurriculars, and make sure MVA parents know who to call if that doesn't happen. [/quote]

I would say eliminate for K-5 unless an IEP or 504 requirement  justifies.

For 6-12 I would let it be an option for families to choose with funding split 70/30 between the academy and students home school.  Home schools would be REQUIRED to allow MVA  students to participate in activities and testing.  If attendance requirements are not met (medical condition excluded and that would have already been documented) students would be returned to in person school.

Create options for classes of interest  that can be taken cross campus.[/quote]
