Some Baraboo students will have the option of attending classes online after the Baraboo School Board approved a full-time virtual learning program Monday. Part-time online courses have been offered for several years at Baraboo schools, but the district is prepared to take it a step further. “The state now provides new flexibility that allows us to go full-time,” District Administrator Lori Mueller said. She said the full-time online education component is a “tiny sliver” of the school’s personalized learning strategic plan. Participants will be chosen by a “problem solving team” that will include online coordinator Shelly Gillmore, other school district officials and the student’s parents. They will be required to apply for the full-time virtual learning program by filling out a questionnaire.
