Monroe opens online school

June 4, 2007

The Monroe School District will host a new statewide online public high school.

Washington Virtual Academies already has an online program for 1,500 students in kindergarten through eighth grade. The new school will offer courses online through the same system, operated by a Virginia-based private company called K12 Inc.

Students have until Sept. 2 to enroll for fall semester. Classes begin soon after.

Monroe district teachers will lead the online courses. Students must meet academic and attendance requirements, including state testing standards for graduation.

An information session is planned for 7 p.m. June 11 at the Best Western Sky Valley Inn, 19233 U.S. 2, Monroe.
