| Title C8 - Approval for new 3-year Florida Virtual School Curriculum Contract for K-12 | ||
| Description FLVS curriculum is designed for students looking for high-quality education, unparalleled flexibility and support, an academic challenge, and ownership of their education in a safe, distraction-free learning environment. Students have a variety of tuition-free, flexible and full-time options to choose from and can enroll in either one or multiple courses. Students have convenient 24/7 online access to more than 190 courses – including NCAA-approved core, electives, world languages, career and technical education, honors, college prep, and Advanced Placement® – allowing them to study anytime and anywhere. Florida Virtual School (the district and all of our individual schools) are accredited by Cognia and Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI). SACS CASI is an accrediting division of Cognia. Our courses meet all Florida Standards. In addition, our core course curriculum has been approved by the NCAA. | ||
| Gap Analysis Clay Virtual Academy offered FLVS virtual instruction to CCDS K-12 students during the 23--24 school year. CVA will not pay upfront for courses, but by course, after the student’s grace period has passed. | ||
| Previous Outcomes FLVS virtual curriculum was used in the 23-24 school year for all K-12 students. Reports have been generated and shared with stakeholders to assist in the monitoring of student progress. | ||
| Expected Outcomes Students will continue to use the FLVS curriculum and will be monitored for progress by teachers, guidance counselors, lab facilitators, office staff, and administration. Teachers will differentiate instruction by holding live lessons and tutoring sessions. | ||
| Strategic Plan Goal Goal: 1.1 Student Success: Strengthen our high-quality instructional system through increased alignment to state standards, with an emphasis on literacy. Strategy: Utilize the District’s Vision for Instruction as the primary instructional framework to ensure high-quality instructional practice, aligned to standards, to meet the needs of all students. | ||
| Recommendation That the Clay County School Board approves to continue with the FLVS curriculum for the next 3 years. | ||

| Financial Impact We will pay curriculum fees ($45-$82) per course, per segment, based on students taking an FLVS course with a Clay Virtual teacher. Due to COVID-19, more students are now taking virtual courses. Therefore, we are expecting an increase in cost for the FLVS curriculum over the next couple of years. Estimated total annual cost of the FLVS contract will be $650,000-$700,000 per year with an option to renew after the 3rd year. Year 1: $665,000, Year 2: $665,000, Year 3: $665,000. | ||
