Schools could get funding for online classes
JEFFERSON CITY — The Senate Education Committee today heard about a bill that would allow school districts to get funding for online classes the same way they get funding for regular classes.
Senate President Pro Tem Charlie Shields, R-St. Joseph, sponsored the bill, which garnered support from several school-related organizations.
Proponents said it would allow schools more flexibility, particularly for students who want to take more classes or don’t like normal school hours. They said it also would allow for a wider range of classes, especially in small or rural districts.
“This is about opportunities,” said Mike Woods of the Missouri State Teacher’s Association
The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education already offers online classes, but not through districts.
Sounds as if Neil Bush is selling his faulty software to school districts again. This is another waste of taxpayer money. Three “R”s for the kiddies and no computer time!
“This is about opportunities,” said Mike Woods of the Missouri State Teacher’s Association
No this is about the Teacher’s Union, screwing the public over and over and over again.
