Indiana’s Senate has passed a bill that would require all students to complete one virtual course before graduating from high school.
The measure is currently under debate in a House Committee.
Lafayette School Corporation Superintendent Ed Eiler believes there needs to be more concrete clarifications before implementing the policy.
He also says added costs may come as the result of the bill and thinks that needs to be examined more thoroughly before anything is done.
Eiler says LSC currently offers some virtual courses, but believes they are a better fit for students who excel in a traditional classroom setting.
He says other students often struggle with these types of classes.
Supports insist setting up the initiative will come with minimal costs and believe the program will provide districts will some flexibility.
