Online courses could help decrease school drop out rates

By Karen Edwards, WRDW


“We all know that kids need redemption. There’s always going to be that one or two classes that really are a sticking point for them,” said Stacey Mabray, Richmond County schools curriculum and instruction director. That’s why Richmond County began offering a summer blended program where students could make up courses that could have held them back a grade or prevented them from graduating. We ran a blended learning opportunity for students to actually engage the content on the computer with the support of a teacher,” Mabray explained. “We had 126 students who met the challenge and we’re really excited about that.” And Mabray says the results exceeded expectations.
