Virtual Academy sees growth; district pilots move from Accelis to Ingenuity for tutoring
Summary
District staff reported growth in the Virtual Academy, student participation in on-campus activities, competition wins, and a platform change from Accelis to Ingenuity to provide evening tutoring and expanded virtual supports.
Olga, identified in the meeting as the Virtual Academy supervisor, said the program has increased enrollment and added part-time staff to maintain class ratios. She highlighted student participation in Maker Faire and local competitions and said the Virtual Academy invites students to campus activity days to participate in science and arts events.
Olga also described a recent switch from "Accelis" to "Ingenuity," which the district expects to provide free virtual tutoring outside teacher hours: "Ingenuity offers students additional tutoring free of charge where they can virtually connect," she said. Trustees discussed how middle/high school has pilot variations and staff clarified that some teachers continue to use Exelis where parents and teachers prefer that platform.
