Virtual school reports higher participation after testing-window changes

Miss Barton updated the board on the virtual school's testing and graduation metrics. She said the shift away from third-party proctoring has been positive and that this year virtual programs will get the same testing window as brick-and-mortar schools; she noted prior constraints when vendors limited slots and students sometimes waited long periods for proctors. "So our students will now not be with a stranger through the proctor vendor. They will be with our staff in our systems," she said.
