- 20. Close but not quite . . . • Oklahoma: Final determination and selection of the provider(s) is left to the discretion of the local district. • Texas: Restrictions. Districts and charter schools . . . – Are not required to pay for more than 3 year-long courses each year, – may deny access to courses if the district or charter school offers a substantially similar course, and – have the final say over which course provider a student chooses. • Kansas, Oregon, and Wyoming: Legislation is not in place to support a student’s right to choose at the course level, although there are mechanisms for students to split their course loads among multiple providers.
- 21. Private / Independent Schools: Why no history of online /blended? • Perceived lack of need until recently • Many public online programs evolved from distance education; that is not the case with private / independent schools • Private / independent schools known for “high-touch” environment, which is not consistent with the perception of online
- 22. Private / Independent Schools: Why now? • National Association of Independent Schools identifying growing number of online & blended programs in its report, “Stories of Excellence: Case Studies of Exemplary Blended and Fully Online Learning” • OESIS Conference • Way to cut costs
- 23. What states allow private students to take state-supported supplemental courses? • Yes, 8 states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, Utah • No, 21 states • The other 21 states do not have statesupported supplemental options
- 25. Key Policy Issues • Online learning requirements • MOOCs
- 26. States with Online Learning Requirements
- 27. MOOCs in K-12 • K-12 Teaching in the 21st Century – Michigan Virtual University & Kent State University – In-service teachers, pre-service teachers, and high school students interested in teaching as a profession • ilearnOhio has authorized 14 MOOCs created by Coursera; students apply for FlexCredit • AP Computer Science MOOC designed by Amplify being piloted in districts around the country • Florida legislation directing DOE to figure out how to authorize MOOCs for credit in the future
- 28. MOOCs in K-12 The Promise: Reasonable or free access to a wide variety of online courses designed by top faculty around the world. • Challenge: How will credit be issued? • Challenge: How will courses be funded (development and participation)? • Challenge: Will providers be held to quality and accountability standards?

- 1st-ever program advisory board to help us keep an eye to what is happening on the ground in schools and districts around the country
- Keeping Pace looks at 7 different program types including fully online schools, supplemental online course providers, and blended learning providers. However, what we are starting to see more and more each year is the increase in the number and variety of blended learning providers merging into all of these worlds.
- 310,000 students in 30 states in SY 2012-13We counted about 295,000, but know that some programs aren’t in our counts (single-district, California could be an undercount) Largest number of students in Arizona (42,000), although that is a unique student count that includes some part-time studentsNext largest number in California, although that is an estimate. Largest number we can trust? Ohio with 38,519 and Pennsylvania with 34,69429 states in SY 2013-14We changed our classification of Hawaii from fully online to fully blendedVirginia’s one school is no longer statewide; focused on two districts, and out-of-district must pay an enrollment fee9 of those states operate with restrictions
- Arkansas: 1 school, limited to 3,000 studentsCalifornia: Schools limited to serving students in contiguous countiesIowa .018 % (approximately 900) student cap statewide for full-time schools; no more than 1% from any one district. Mass. No more than 2% of students statewide in virtual schools. At least 5% of students from sponsoring district. 10 virtual schools max. Michigan SB619 (2012) limited number of cyber charters and their enrollments. New Hampshire1 school; enrollment limited by appropriation.Oregon 3% cap on the number of students in virtual schools from each district. Tennessee Initial enrollment limited to 1,500; never more than 5,000. No more than 25% of a virtual school’s students may come from outside the LEA. Restrictions are lifted or schools closed based on school performance. TexasTxVSN Online Schools serves grades 3-12.For good measure: Virginia is no longer statewide
- Many of the restrictions fall into one of three categories: # of students: this could be limited by percent of state student population, % of students from any district, or simply by budget# of schools: some states limit the number of virtual schools allowed to operate in the state, or to serve students statewideOut-of-district: In an effort to prevent schools from “making money” on out-of-district students, some states limit the number of out-of-district enrollments, or mandate a minimum number of in-district students.

- State virtual schools742,728 course enrollments in SVS in 27 states in SY 2012-13 Connecticut and Louisiana closed at the end of the school yearOperating in 25 states in SY 2013-14FLVS by far the largest with 410,962 course enrollments
- Course choice programs7 states: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Utah4 of these also have SVS (FL, GA, MI, UT)Many other states in the ‘close but not quite’ categoryAZ: enrollment data not available
- One enrollment = one student enrolled in one semester-long supplemental courseWhile we work to maintain neutrality about the positivity / negativity of particular options for students, we do believe that any option that results in more choices for students is at its core a good thing. However, how that plays out in legislation and then on the ground is critical toward understanding the potential effect on students and student performance.
- First time covered in Keeping Pace1st private school sponsor, private school representative on Program Advisory Board
- Note that many of the policy details mentioned in the preceding and upcoming slides are detailed in a snapshot that leads each profile
- As of September 2013, 4 states require students to complete an online course to graduate (Alabama, Florida, Michigan, and Virginia) 2 more (North Carolina and Arkansas) are in the process of implementing a requirement4 more states (Georgia, West Virginia, New Mexico, Massachusetts) encourage but don’t require it
- the first thing we do with a school district – before we even sign a contract – is to ask them what educational goal they are trying to solve.
