The Gov. Mifflin School District has unveiled a new online learning program that will also allow students to participate in all district activities. Administrators conducted an informational meeting Thursday night to a handful of families to explain the new program known as Governor Mifflin GOLD. Dr. Steve Gerhard, superintendent, said the program is a shift to a more robust and responsive approach to online learning. “It’s important for families to have options when providing the best education for their students,” Gerhard said. “I think up until now, our families had an either-or option – online or in school.” Gerhard said he doesn’t believe that was the best response from the district. “We view this as an ‘and’ option combining online programming with the in-person programming you can find in our schools,” he said. Governor Mifflin GOLD is available tuition-free to students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
