Leaders pull the plug on state’s virtual school
HAMILTON - Marion County School officials will “bite the bullet” and fork out additional funds to replace problematic state-furnished virtual school software.
During a special-called meeting on Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 23, the Marion County Board of Education voted unanimously to contract with a Minnesota-based online school software company, Edmentum. The program will cost an estimated $234,000, which will be adjusted depending on enrollment changes.
