[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Virtual Virginia is a separate program, there's no partnering. Either you enroll your child in FCPS or in Virtual Virginia. Read up on some of the stuff parents who actually use Virtual Virginia have said. It requires a great deal of parental involvement.[/quote]

Are you talking about VDOE's Virtual Virginia or are you talking about Virtual Virginia Academy by K-12 (the private company)? There's a difference. Until this year the VDOE one didn't even have K-5.[/quote]

The one through VDOE.  They are offering a K-5 option for next school year.

Per the handbook at their website, the local school district absolutely does have to partner with Virtual Virginia: https://www.virtualvirginia.org/students_parents/student-and-parent-handbook/

FCPS doesn't support that, per their homeschool page:

[quote]As a program of the Virginia Department of Education, Virtual Virginia (VVa) offers online Advanced Placement (AP®), world language, core academic, and elective courses to students across the Commonwealth and nation. Due to the robust course offerings available to FCPS students through the FCPS Online Campus, FCPS does not currently participate in the Virtual Virginia full-time program.
Home school students may access Virtual Virginia and in these cases, are registered by their parents. Tuition, textbooks, fees and other materials are the responsibility of the enrolling party. [/quote]

Wondering PP, this is a question for Brabrand or someone else in FCPS admin. Maybe your SB member? If they are going to partner with Virtual Virginia that would be new.

My guess is that Brabrand was basically saying you're welcome to homeschool.[/quote]
