- Title
Pinellas Virtual School: The FLVS District Franchise and the Ongoing Controversy Over Funding.
- Authors
Whitehurst, Karen M.
- Abstract
INTRODUCTION The year 1997 marks the founding of the Florida Virtual School (FLVS), one of the most notable innovations in K-12 distance education. If a full-time student in a district school enrolls in a flex course with FLVS, total FTE funding will go to FLVS, and districts will lose money. For a student in Grades 9 through 12, a "full-time equivalent student" is one student who has completed six full-credit courses that count toward the minimum number of credits required for high school graduation. If students do not complete the course or receive a passing grade, the district is obligated to pay FLVS for the course curriculum and does not receive the FTE funding.
