A building near Toppenish Middle School offers a physical presence along with 60 computers for use by online students. Four Toppenish district teachers work with the students, who are required to spend at least one day a week on site. The accountability lies in having students meet the same state requirements as their classroom counterparts, including passing state assessment tests. In that sense, they are like all other students. Even in this brave new world, some old-school standards still apply. Students must be able to work independently and live in a home environment that fosters concentration on schoolwork. Instructors still need to stay on top of what the student is doing.
