District to evaluate Edgenuity platform as part of long-term plan to bring virtual courses in-house
Summary
Staff said the district will evaluate the Edgenuity platform used at Osaka and other online options, with a long-term five-to-six-year goal to migrate to district-developed East Stroudsburg curriculum for its K–12 cyber program.
East Stroudsburg staff told the EPR committee they will evaluate the effectiveness, cost and technology requirements of Edgenuity — the district’s current online platform — and consider alternatives as the district grows its K–12 cyber program.
Why it matters: Online curriculum and delivery affect students who choose virtual learning for scheduling, academic progress and course content alignment with district standards.
What staff said
CNI staff reported they and Miss Mayer have been discussing the Edgenuity platform used at Osaka and will assess cost, ease of use and technological requirements as part of a formal evaluation. The presenter said the district’s long-term goal is to migrate toward East Stroudsburg–authored courses and away from third-party scripted programs.
“We won’t be able to do that immediately,” the presenter said, and added the district estimates a five-to-six-year timeline to fully migrate course content into an East Stroudsburg program as curriculum rewrites proceed.
Operational note
Staff said the current focus is evaluating whether Edgenuity provides meaningful instruction for students and whether the district should replace or supplement it as the cyber program grows. District staff indicated they will bring evaluation results back to the committee for future decisions.
No formal procurement or vendor decision was made at this meeting.
