Our state led the technological revolution. Now thousands of families across our state are part of this technological revolution by enrolling their children in impressive, innovative, individualized online public school programs. Are you one of those families, too? If you are, we'd love to have you join us!  

A few parents started building this new coaltion, Families for Online Learning, by launching this website last year. Our families are working together to let others, especially our elected legislators and the media, know why one of these online public school programs is the right fit for their children. Most people around the state have never talked with a family actually engaged in an online program. By coming together on this website, we can give our students a stronger voice to support their online public school programs. We hope you'll join us! Click HERE.
