The creation of the South Dakota
Virtual High School is an expansion of current synchronous and
asynchronous virtual class offerings. The legislation grants
authority to create an advisory council. This council will advise
the Department of Education, the South Dakota Board of Education,
education-related organizations, and other education groups on
issues related to distance learning. They council discuss, develop,
and make recommendations for the promulgation of rules concerning
policies that affect distance delivery to include but not limited
to:
-
Coordination of course offerings
-
Establishment of criteria for
participation in the virtual high school
-
Assurance of standards in course
offerings
-
Establish
criteria for approval as a distance Learning Provider
The virtual high will create
consistency and structure for online coursework aligned with South
Dakota Content Standards.
