Virtual Education Planned for SLPS Students
Proposed program would expand learning opportunities via the Internet

St. Louis - Dr. Diana Bourisaw, Superintendent of St. Louis Public Schools, announced today that the district is in the process of developing a virtual school for the 2007-08 school year. The school will allow K-12 students the ability to attend school from any computer.

“Virtual education represents another way in which we are expanding services to our students,” said Bourisaw. “Through the Internet, we will offer a broad range of courses and flexibility in scheduling.”

Bourisaw added that the classes would be taught by Missouri certified teachers.
