Athens to offer courses to other school systems

By Marian Accardi, Decatur Daily

The Athens school board Thursday night approved agreements with four school systems to provide them online and blended online/traditional education services for the 2017-18 school year. The school systems are Elmore County, Linden City, Marengo County and Elba City. The agreements give the school districts two options. Students can participate in the Athens Renaissance School’s virtual education program as guest enrollees, Holladay said, and “those school systems would pay Athens City Schools for the online or blended courses.” Or “students can enroll with Athens City Schools as full-time students, and we would pay the school district a percentage of the funding that we receive through the state’s foundation program.”
