Virtual school expanding offerings - Lawrence Journal-World
Virtual school will become a reality for high school students next fall as the Lawrence school district expands its online options. The move helps the district meet students' diverse needs in new ways, Lawrence Virtual School Principal Gary Lewis said. Officials anticipate about 30 full-time students will enroll at Lawrence Virtual School, 2145 La. But that figure might be a bit modest, Supt. Randy Weseman said. "I would say that's probably low," Weseman said. "You have to plan for something. When you're kicking off a new program like this, you have to start smaller." The school opened last fall with online classes for elementary students. Before its start, officials expected 30 students. They enrolled more than 150.
