More kids could go to school online under Texas bills to expand virtual learning

by Eva-Marie Ayala, Dallas News

Texas could greatly expand the reach of virtual charter schools even after the digital campuses have faltered across the state and nation. This week, the Senate passed a bill by Sen. Van Taylor, R-Plano, that would expand the state cap on charter schools by allowing operators to hold more than one charter if the programs are distinctly different, such as a virtual school. A separate measure pending in the Senate by Sen. Don Huffines, R-Dallas, would open enrollment in virtual schools to some of the state’s youngest students — kindergarteners through second-graders.
