Did you know that enrolled families get a stipend if they have Internet access? The entire curriculum and a loaner computer and printer are provided at no cost, and enrolled families receive a stipend for Internet access.That means you don’t have to shell out more than a thousand dollars to buy a computer. A computer can be loaned to the enrolled student.
In Sacramento, the Elk Grove Unified School District has done just that–opened enrollment for the first virtual school in this area. It’s different from home schooling in the sense that it’s public school–free public school. All other virtual schools you probably have to pay for or buy supplies. But this one is free because it’s run by the Elk Grove Unified School District. What a blessing to parents who aren’t able to chauffeur their kids to school on a daily basis.
Students who wish to attend have all their supplies needed to complete a school year delivered to their homes. They will learn their lessons at home whether their parents can afford to buy a computer or not. But tests will be taken at a campus. There will be meetings once in a while with a teacher. The important point is that learning materials will be delivered to the front door. The school is virtual.
