Gov. Deval L. Patrick has signed a virtual schools bill expanding a controversial education model that has come under some fire in Greenfield, but has been lauded by state officials as a progressive alternative for both vulnerable and gifted students. The legislation provides for up to 10 online schools statewide by the year 2020, establishes guidelines for the approval and and operation of “Commonwealth virtual schools” and directs the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to draft comprehensive regulations governing the structure and oversight of the ventures.
