District hears plan for Rivers Virtual Academy partnership; board plans June action item

May 22, 2026

District staff presented a proposal to partner with Rivers Virtual Academy (REVA) as a virtual charter school; the model would govern virtual-enrolled students separately, provide special‑education supports, and follow a state funding 70%/30% split. The board asked for policy clarifications and will consider an action item in June.

The full story

Josh, the district staff member leading the proposal, told the board the Rivers Virtual Academy model would operate “under the authority of the school board and superintendent” but that students enrolled in the virtual charter would not be Prescott School District students and instead would be governed by a separate governance council. He said the district would serve in defined operating roles — program administration, finance, counseling and enrollment — and that EdOptions (the contracted virtual-provider partner) would supply daily instructional supports.
