by WNCN

Monday marked the first day back to school for many children around our region, but instead of raising their hand for roll call, about 1500 students just logged in online. WNCN’s Alyssa Corfont spoke with leaders of the groundbreaking new programs to find out more about how online academies work and answer some common questions parents might have.
