Madison schools will allow some students to continue to learn from home next fall.
The city’s school board last night agreed to open a virtual academy for up to 250 kids in middle school and high school. Madison Superintendent Carlton Jenkins says some students were very successful learning from home this year. About 40 percent of Madison school kids never returned to school this year, opting instead to learn from home. Some of that may be because Madison schools were only in-person for two, half-days each week. The expectation is to be back in class for more than that next fall.
