Florida On-Line School Should Improve Its Accountability and Access Processes

Report 00-08, September 2000




Report Summary

  • The Florida On-Line High School, though relatively new and a national leader in distance learning for high school students over the Internet, needs a strategic vision of what it is, what it wants to accomplish, and how it might achieve these goals.
  • Once the school establishes strategic goals, it should develop an accountability system to hold itself responsible for achieving school goals as well as student performance goals.
  • School administrators also should consider access issues, including student enrollment among districts, improved access for some students lacking home computers, and setting fees for out-of-state students.
