During the 2012-13 school year, the Oklahoma Public School District jumped onboard and started the online education program iOKCPS. It is designed to offer unique educational opportunities to meet a wide variety of student needs, Innovative Program Coordinator Scot McAdoo said. It was definitely the best option for Jayme Pierson, a 17-year-old 12th grader who began taking online classes at the start of her junior year. The results have been good in the time that it has been available, McAdoo said. There are a large number of OKCPS students who have been able to recover credits toward graduation. One drawback to online classrooms is the lack of socialization, but that can be overcome. Seeing people from schools she previously attended fills that gap for Jayme. She also interacts with others at her job.
