Online learning has the potential to change the face of the Olentangy Local School District and free up space in district buildings — but it may not be for everyone. That’s one of the conclusions reached by Martin Johnson, chairman of a volunteer committee that’s working to plot a course for the future of the district. The undertaking is called Project 2020, and committee members released a 254-page report last month after more than two years of work. The implementation of new technology is a major focus of the report. High school students already have access to a growing number of online classes, and teachers increasingly integrate the Internet into lessons and homework assignments. “But not every kid is going to be wired for an online environment,” Martin said. “Some are going to do really well with that and others will do much better in a traditional classroom.”
