Gov. Andrew Cuomo has signed a bill into law authored by state Sen. Catharine Young, R-C-I-Olean, chair of the Legislative Commission on Rural Resources, that will help bring more academic enrichment and opportunities to classrooms across the state. Senate Bill 5509-C calls for the creation of a statewide online and blended learning program. It addresses the need for new technology and teaching systems that will change the classroom experience for students by providing them with access to unique courses and innovative instructional methods. Virtual learning programs include online courses as well as blended learning initiatives that combine both a physical location with online resources. They provide schools with cost-effective opportunities for students to access coursework and educational resources otherwise not available.
