Board certifies Virtual Academy’s course‑based independent study for 2025–26
Summary
The Fairfield‑Suisun Unified governing board voted unanimously to adopt a resolution certifying that the district’s Virtual Academy meets course‑based independent study requirements for 2025–26.
The Fairfield‑Suisun Unified School District governing board unanimously approved a resolution certifying that the district’s Virtual Academy operates as a course‑based independent‑study program and meets the required minutes and instructional opportunities for 2025–26.
Assistant Superintendent Dr. McCabe told the board the certification is an annual requirement: “The virtual academy of Fairfield Suisun operates as a course based independent study. And as such, each year, the board through a resolution has to approve and verify certify that...this virtual program offers the same number of minutes and instructional opportunities as...traditional setting,” she said.
Why it matters: Certifying the program preserves funding and compliance for students enrolled in the Virtual Academy and is required under state education reporting rules for course‑based independent study programs.
The board voted by roll call; all trustees cast “aye” votes. Student board trustee JJ Perry also voted in the affirmative. No amendments or conditions were recorded during the public hearing; there were no public comments.
The resolution was described as an annual item and will be part of the district’s compliance documentation for submission to the county office of education.
