Volusia County Schools announced on April 15 that the Volusia Live Option will not be offered in the 2021-2022 school year.
Superintendent Scott Fritz wrote the following message to parents: "Starting this upcoming August, parents will have two options for their students for next school year. The first option will be face-to-face learning, at their zoned school. The second option for those students who would like to learn virtually will be to enroll in Volusia Online Learning (VOL) as a full-time student. Please note that for next school year we will not be offering the Volusia Live Option."
Registration opened for the VOL option on April 16. Visit www.volusiaonlinelearning.com through July 18. All current VOL families must re-apply for the 2021-2022 school year, Fritz said.
Call 386-506-0014 or email [email protected] if you have questions about VOL.
"I will continue to monitor any new developments in order to protect the health and safety of our students and staff," Fritz concluded.
One Facebook user, on the public group Volusia County School Forum, praised the school district's approach: "I honestly think schools are doing the best they can with a teacher shortage and COVID," write Tarisa Craig-Craggy. "Volusia Online is still a great option for those who are frustrated with the system. But sometimes teachers are out and schools need to improvise."
The forum also posted a poll asking whether masks should be mandatory in schools next year. More than 1,000 people voted in the first two days, with 667 in favor of a mask mandate, and 289 against.
