DPI Holding Tele-hearing on Proposal to Expand State Aid for Virtual Summer School Classes

The Department of Public Instruction is holding a public hearing on April 23 at 10 a.m. on their proposal to expand the grade levels in which school districts may receive state aid in providing virtual instruction during summer and interim session courses. Currently, schools can receive aid for virtual summer school programs taught to high schools students and students in grades 7 and 8. DPI is proposing to expand this to all grade levels. 

DPI says the rule change is needed to "ensure that schools may be able to use summer and interim sessions to provide virtual instruction as a means of making up instruction that was lost due to the emergency declaration."
