A meeting of the Salt Lake City School District Board of Education, Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2023. Board members voted Tuesday to close the district's online elementary school.Despite efforts from parents and teachers to keep it open, Salt Lake City School District board members voted Tuesday night to shut down the district’s online elementary school, Salt Lake Virtual Elementary.
For families who want to continue sending their children to a virtual learning setting, the district will provide them information on how to enroll in Rocky Peak Virtual Elementary in the Jordan School District. The Rocky Peak option would offer students both synchronous and asynchronous learning options, as well as an optional program that allows students to participate in hands-on, in-person activities twice a week.
Bates answered that dual enrollment could be a consideration. And that could be something that the district could develop a plan for over the summer, as well as a plan to communicate that with families, said Tiffany Hall, the district’s executive director of teaching and learning.Salt Lake Virtual Elementary, which serves grades K-6, started in the 2021-2022 school year as an option for families who looked to still have online schooling for their kids once schools returned in person.
Other parents, like Brandon and Natasha Jensen, wrote to the board about how Salt Lake Virtual has not only given their son “great opportunities,” but also made him feel safe while getting “the education he deserves.”
