During a news conference in Pinellas County about teacher bonuses, Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran hinted that distance learning may not be in place for the 2021-22 academic year.
“The goal is to get everyone back in the classroom,” Corcoran said.
WATCH COMMISSIONER’S COMMENTS:
Under the “traditional funding” model before the COVID-19 pandemic, the Florida Department of Education would set aside financial resources — also called “full-time equivalent credits” — for students enrolled in the Florida Virtual School, or a “full-time virtual instruction program” that’s “approved by the Department of Education… the Florida Virtual School, a franchise of the Florida Virtual School, or a Florida College System institution.”
