Each school building cost dozens of millions of dollars.

Maintenance on same are astronomical, especially if they're older.

You guys aren't very bright if you believe that buying new curriculae for virtual schooling and paying a handful more teachers will ever be comparable to expanding, building, renovating and maintaining schools for our increasing student population.

You can buy yourself a curriculum for $30. [/quote]

I've researched curriculum options - that is false.

I believe public school has a mandate to reach every resident child. And in our modern connected age, this should really include reaching them virtually as well. There are students who need to stay home for medical reasons, or who have professional or pre-professional occupations, performing arts or sports, or dual enrollment, and who could benefit from a virtual school.

I guess my belief is that virtual learning should not be a luxury in 2021. It should be just as normal and socially acceptable as brick-and-mortar schooling. And from a cost perspective, it is less expensive than building new schools.
