The Senate Education Policy Committee approved overwhelmingly SB 2262 which authorizes Virtual Charter schools. This bill will give parents the power to choose a virtual school program that best serves their children's needs.
We went with two hundred other family that Public Virtual School and talked about why Senate Bill 2262 was so important to us. Right now we don't have a choice in the Public Virtual School our children attend or the curriculum. Our School District has changed the Virtual School and curriculum yearly. Which make it hard for Public Virtual School student to have any kind of consistency. It would be like you being told your son or daughter need to change school yearly and in the new school your child will have math or science taught in Spanish, or French and your child only know English. Also many school district change the rules of enrollment every year and turn down student that are eligible to be in the public virtual school. For most parent that public virtual school it is their last hope of helping their children education. Some school district only offer the curriculum till fifth grade, and middle and high school student are left with no or little choice to continue their virtual school. It is not fair and need to be changed. Please show your support, by contacting these representative, and sending the following letter out to them, it will only take five minutes of your time and it could change a lot for virtual school children and their family's. Thank you!!!!
