TDOE Virtual School Monitoring

Virtual schools provide flexible and unique learning opportunities for students across Tennessee. Statutes and regulations that frame virtual schools in Tennessee give LEAs the flexibility to create virtual learning environments that fit the needs of their students and families. Tennessee students deserve high-quality education, and It is incumbent upon virtual schools and LEAs that authorize virtual schools to ensure the best outcomes for all students. The Tennessee Department of Education has created this virtual school monitoring framework to provide LEAs a structure by which to monitor their virtual school’s efficacy, legal compliance, and operation. Monitoring conversations and feedback held throughout this process should serve as a catalyst for reflection and action to help virtual schools provide services that are best for all.
