Online Charter School To Close Virtual Doors

An online charter school in Indiana will close next year. The Indianapolis Star reports that the Hoosier Academies Network board voted Tuesday to end the experimental Hoosier Academies Virtual School program. The school has received a failing grade from the state’s accountability system from 2010 to 2015. School founders say the school was meant to allow high-achieving students to work on a flexible schedule. But the school has seen high rates of student turnover, expulsion and dropouts.
