Board renews MOU with Greenbush Virtual Academy for up to four high‑school slots
Summary
The board authorized continuing an MOU with Greenbush Virtual Academy guaranteeing two virtual slots (up to four) for high‑school students; administration said the guaranteed minimum cost would be about $9,000 for the district's two slots and that the arrangement is used case-by-case.
The board voted to continue the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Greenbush Virtual Academy to maintain virtual-education slots for high-school students. Under the arrangement the district guarantees at least two slots and may reserve up to four; administration said the guaranteed payment for the two minimum seats would be about $9,000.
"The overall minimum is gonna be $99,000," the presenting staff member said when discussing the program's scale, and later clarified that the district generally pays state per-student funding through the MOU and Greenbush delivers instructional services. Board members asked whether the district could rely solely on its Edgenuity system; administration explained Greenbush provides a packaged service for students requiring a full virtual program while Edgenuity is used for in-district credit recovery and hybrid cases.
The motion to continue the MOU (two guaranteed slots, up to four) passed on a voice vote; administration said it would confirm per-student funding figures and share any additional cost details requested by trustees.
