Lance Izumi is the Senior Director of Education Studies at the Pacific Research Institute. In a recent op-ed article for the Orange County Register, Izumi issued a challenge to California's newly-elected governor Jerry Brown: Remove the hurdles to virtual education that are stalling a education-changing movement in the Golden State.
"One key regulation prevents students from enrolling in virtual charter schools, where instruction takes place through the Internet, if students don't live in the county in which the school is chartered or in a contiguous county – as if the Internet somehow changes from San Francisco to Los Angeles," Izumi wrties.
"Jerry Brown could click the delete button on these regulations, which would increase individualized learning for students and savings for California's depleted treasury."
