Online public education programs are operated by public school districts. Day-to-day instruction is provided by private teaching companies selected and monitored by school district officials. Early reporting shows that online public education programs are academically successful for students, financially sustainable for taxpayers, and popular with parents. As such, online programs are an important part of fulfilling the state’s paramount duty to make ample educational provision for all children within its borders. Read the full study online here >>
