Show Notes
North Carolinas State Board of Education is set to vote on four new virtual schools, potentially enrolling up to 525 students. These schools aim to provide flexible options for families, addressing issues like bullying, health concerns, and scheduling conflicts. However, board members express skepticism about the effectiveness of remote learning, citing lessons from the pandemic. The state approved virtual schools in 2022 with strict regulations, and performance data on existing schools is average. The Department of Public Instruction is conducting a thorough review of teaching methods and operations. This vote could mark a significant shift in the boards approach to virtual schools.
