Guest Commentary: Florida Today on a Principal Who Wants to Use Virt. Ed. to Help Students

The Editorial Board of Florida Today believes Jackie Pons, superintendent of schools in Leon County, understand that embracing virtual education is the way to get in front of change.

And he's also keeping a keen eye on legislation that would require Florida students entering ninth grade this fall to take at least one online course before graduation," the editorial board writes "Mr. Pons is correct in floating options now that would keep instructional costs under control while providing students with as many ways possible to broaden their class choices. Online instruction is logically among them," the editorial continues.
