Yes, the statute allows a public school student residing in Minnesota to apply to a Minnesota Virtual Schools (MNVS) part-time online learning at no cost to the student.

Minnesota Statutes section 124D.095 Subd 3a, articulates the following online learning enrollment parameters: A student age 17 or younger must have the written consent of a parent or guardian to apply. No school district or charter school may prohibit a student from applying to enroll in online learning. An online learning student may enroll during a single school year in a maximum of 12 semester-long courses or their equivalent delivered by an online learning provider in a comprehensive program or through supplemental online learning up to 50 percent of the student’s full schedule of courses per term at their enrolling district. A student may exceed the supplemental OLL registration limit if the enrolling district grants permission for additional supplemental OLL enrollment or if the student’s enrolling district has waived the 50% of the online learning credit limit on the MDE OLL form.

There are many different reasons a student may need supplemental online classes such as scheduling conflicts, course variety needs, alternative learning styles, teacher/conflict bullying/classmate, early graduation needs, flexible start and end dates, quicker or slower pacing of work, physical limitations, or taking a course that was previously failed from a prior grade level.

Supplemental online learning, defined as an online course taken in place of a course period during the regular school day at a local district school, may not exceed 50 percent of the student’s full schedule of courses per term at their enrolling district and remain enrolled as a full time student in their local school. A student may exceed the supplemental OLL registration limit if the enrolling district waives the 50% of online credit limit.

The student, student’s parents or enrolling district must submit an application to the online learning provider with MNVS current Supplemental /Part Time Application or vice-versa. MNVS will notify the enrolling district of the student’s enrollment on a form provided by MDE (OLL Supplemental Notice of Student Enrollment Form) signed by both MNVS and enrolling district.

The student will have 24/7 access to their online courses and along with a support specialist and weekly progress reports. Teachers are available for any questions or one on one help during school hours.

The online school option was a good experience for Jack. Gave him a chance to learn how to be self-directed and independent. Also gave him a break from the traditional school environment which doesn’t always work well for him. Just wanted you to know.
