General Information
Action Summary As the options available to Virginia’s public school students through virtual learning programs continue to expand and evolve, students enrolled in public schools may be provided a variety of options to take coursework virtually. Proposed regulations governing virtual education would expand opportunities to learn by setting forth the expectations for virtual education in Virginia school divisions, for Multidivision Online Providers, and Virtual Virginia. In promulgating these regulations, the Board will establish the policies and standards necessary to ensure accountability of student learning in public virtual education. Finally, the regulations will provide the Board with the opportunity to develop and implement sound policies for student success in a virtual setting, including students in kindergarten through twelfth grade.
