When Hurricane Michael rendered many local school campuses unusable, students across the district jumped online to avoid falling behind. Students have multiple options when it comes to schooling. Since 1997, Florida Virtual School has provided students with free public school courses for students seeking an education online and currently offers courses taught by accredited teachers for kindergartners to 12th-graders. Just more than a decade ago, Bay Virtual School opened as an option within Bay District Schools. Staying in the district keeps teachers and classmates local, class sizes small, provides Bay District Schools field trips and graduations and keeps tax dollars in the district. Currently the school has 147 students enrolled.
