The recent report to the District School Board emphasizes serious infractions against State Education Code. As a Florida Virtual School (FLVS) parent I feel compelled to comment on statements made regarding FLVS.
FLVS maintains strict policies to ensure academic integrity. FLVS uses a variety of technologies to check student work, including but not limited to the upload of student work to TurnItIn.com. Instructors may choose to give random oral assessments and/or face to face exams at any time. In addition, Guidance Counselors have available to them numerous resources including student progression plans and a complete video training guide.
FLVS is part of the Florida public education system and serves students in all 67 Florida districts. Each course is taught by a teacher with a valid Florida teaching certificate, certified specifically in the subject they teach. More than 64% of the teachers hold advanced degrees, and 76 are national board certified. Contact with both the student and the parent is required on a regular basis. The course work is challenging and aligned to Florida State Standards. FLVS is fully accredited by The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and The Commission on International and Trans-Regional Education.
FLVS provides over 30,000 students across the State of Florida with a viable, challenging choice in education.
