All students are digital learners.
Metrics:
- All students must be provided opportunities to access online courses throughout their entire K-12 experience.
- All students must complete at least one online course to earn a high school diploma.
- Student eligibility in digital-learning environments is not based on prior-year enrollment in the public school system.
All students have a right to a high quality education. In the 21st century, a high quality education must include digital learning.
Students who are eligible for public school should be eligible for publicly funded digital learning. Establishing criteria for eligibility, such as previous attendance in a public school, only limits, delays and diminishes opportunities for learning.
Small increases in public school enrollment may be offset by lower cost virtual courses and savings gained by early graduation.
