IPT: Online Requirement Balanced

The State Board of Education on Friday brought Idaho one step closer to joining Alabama, Florida and Michigan in requiring students to take some of their classes online. The approved arrangement was a good reflection of compromise that should serve students well. Schools Superintendent Tom Luna had originally wanted students to take as many as eight online course credits as part of his controversial Students Come First reform plan, but the deal approved by the Ed Board pared that down to two credits/Idaho Press-Tribune Editorial Board.

Other Idaho Opinion:

Question: Are you more comfortable with online education requirements now that the Idaho Education Board has pared Superintendent Luna's eight classes down to two?
