North Carolina schoolchildren may be attending classes on their home computers next year after a state education committee moved the applications of two proposed virtual charter schools forward.
The State Board of Education, which sets education policy in the state, will take up the applications of two virtual charter schools at their January meeting as part of a four-year pilot program created by the state legislature.
A special committee of N.C. Department of Public Instruction staff and charter school educators voted Wednesday to move the applications from two proposed virtual schools forward while also expressing concerns about how the online-based education system will serve students and taxpayers.
