(KNZA)--The Hiawatha Board of Education has approved starting a new virtual school program.
Superintendent Penny Hargrove was given the green light this week to submit an application to the state Board of Education for approval to start the on-line program beginning next school year.
Hargrove says the program is another platform for education and for opportunities for students to learn.
She says students will be allowed to participate in the virtual school on a case by case basis. Hargrove said that could include students who can’t make it in the regular classroom or adult students who want to get a diploma
She said there will be no additional cost to the district for the program.
