On Do you support the 5,250 student cap put on the state’s virtual school enrollment?

The kids that go to these schools have minimum hours per week to meet, as well as a minimum percentage of work per week to complete. If they do not, they get a truancy notice. After too many truancy notices, I believe it is three, they are kicked out of the program and sent back to 'regular' school. Parents are sent weekly updates by the head teacher, as well as by each individual teacher. Not to mention many phone conferences, and email corespondence. This program is not for "lazy" parents or students. It requires a high level of dedication on both parts. Students in this program do not get a GED, they achieve a high school diploma.
