Planning for South Dakota Virtual School progresses
The South Dakota Board of Education approved administrative
rules related to South Dakota Virtual High School at its
September 2006 meeting. The rules outline the definition for
the Virtual High School, calling it a “consortium of
approved statewide distance education providers under the
auspices of the South Dakota Department of Education.”
The VHS is designed to provide accessibility, flexibility,
quality and equity in high school offerings for students
across the state. The Virtual High School will not
grant diplomas.
VHS courses will be offered both synchronously and
asynchronously. All VHS providers and course offerings will
be approved by the South Dakota Department of Education, in
order to ensure consistency, quality and alignment with the
state’s content standards.
The Virtual High School Advisory Council and Department of
Education will continue to hammer out details of the new system.
