Statewide Online Education Program

SB 65 (Howard Stephenson's bill...surprised?) would create a statewide online education program to allow students to earn high school graduation credit through the completion of online courses. The estimated $2.5 million cost for this program will be borne by the individual school districts.

We oppose because:

• It would divert public education funds away from school districts to private providers with little accountability just as school vouchers would have done.

Nuff said.
