Digital curriculum could be first step to e-learning - Howard Fischer, Capitol Media Services
Some Arizona children could soon be getting schooled not going to school, at least not full time. The Senate Appropriations Committee voted Tuesday to start creating a "digital curriculum'' for public schools. Senate President Ken Bennett said this would be the first step to an optional e-learning system for the state. SB 1512 has an up-front cost of $5.9 million, with the prospects of more dollars in the future. But Bennett said the plan, if successful, could save money: Fewer students in class means fewer expensive schools to build. Bennett said, though, the real beneficiaries would be children.
