The response to the Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School has exceeded everyone s expectations, said Dr. Nick Trombetta, Chief School Administrator. We started this project with zero funds, zero students and plans to support 25 students. However, we initially had over 400 inquiries. We currently have 250 students enrolled for this coming fall and have another 100 on a waiting list. Schools may enroll students individually or elect to establish a locally maintained virtual high school.
Schools select online courses for several reasons.
The flexibility and ability to serve each student individually, regardless of the reason, provides a viable option for schools and students. I certainly feel this project was a success, says Weir. D, Superintendent of the Westside Community Schools in Omaha. A virtual high school is like no other high school campus in the school system. The doors do not close in the middle of the afternoon.
