Guest Commentary: Oregon Shouldn't Limit Access to Virtual Schools

The Portland Oregonian Editorial Board said it bluntly, "A state where a quarter of the students drop out of public schools ought to have better things to do than figuring out ways to limit access" to virtual schools.
The editorial writers also wonder why "once the state is convinced that online students are receiving a quality education, why should it prevent other families from making the same choice?"
Many Oregon parents who want to enrollment their children in virtual course, but cannot because of state-imposed enrollment caps, are asking the same question.
