VII.1. Virtual Student Request
Description:
DPI has ruled that a child must be a resident of our school district to receive virtual instruction which means their legal guardians must reside in MP. No doubt a district would break educational policy law in WI and MN. The only way the district could serve open-enrolled, elementary virtual students is to file an “authorized virtual charter school” application and follow through with proper training and the DPI guidelines.
