A lot more kids are taking the option of learning completely online in Eau Claire schools.
The city’s school board last night said enrollment in their Virtual School has tripled since Eau Claire removed its enrollment cap over the summer. Superintendent Mike Johnson says there are now 73 elementary students, 47 middle school students and 74 high school students learning completely online. The Virtual School is different from the online classes that were offered while Eau Claire schools were closed during the coronavirus outbreak.
