District (PSESD) Online Learning Conference Consulted with the PSESD Met with 3 online vendors
Our Purpose Provide students with another method of
credit retrieval in order to graduate on time Reduce the FTE and therefore financial,
impact of student migration to other programs outside the district
Provide a method for credit enrichment for students who want more from their education, such as early graduation, AP credits, etc.
Online Facts Online schools serve 6,600 of the state's 1.03 million
public school students 2005 legislation allowed state tax dollars to go to
outside companies to run online programs in partnership with local school districts
Current PSD credit retrieval method is NovaNET Singleton enrichment classes like Chinese are
difficult for us to offer with consistency without an online option
PSD is one of the only districts its size without an online option for students
