Portage outlines PACE virtual program to retain students and offer flexible learning
Summary
District leaders presented PACE, a personalized online high‑school program that pairs Portage teachers as mentors with Subject.com coursework, plans a local drop‑in site at the high school and intends not to charge families for enrollment.
Portage Township Schools officials on April 14 presented PACE, a proposed district‑run virtual school aimed at students needing flexible scheduling or at risk of leaving the district for other online providers.
