Plano ISD rolls out applications for new virtual learning option

Applications for Plano ISD’s new Virtual Academy Program are now open.

The district’s board of trustees received an update on the program from PISD Director of Expanded Learning Pathways Stacy Singleton during an April 7 meeting.

The gist: The program will introduce a fully virtual and hybrid learning option for Plano ISD students starting next school year, according to the presentation. Students enrolled in the hybrid model will take both in-person and online courses, but no course will be a combination of in-person and virtual, Singleton said.

The virtual courses will be “fully aligned” with state standards, Singleton said.
