body
Executive Summary
The Director of Secondary Programs, on behalf of the Superintendent of Schools, hereby requests the Board to review the presentation and give approval to move forward with the planning and implementation of the Imagine Learning/Edgenuity virtual instruction program. This initiative is designed to expand virtual learning opportunities for Hernando County students through the development of Hernando FLEX, a district-managed virtual instruction platform.
Imagine Learning, an approved Florida Virtual Instructional Provider, offers a comprehensive suite of K-12 courses, including NCAA-approved and Advanced Placement options, taught by Florida-certified teachers. The program supports both in-district students seeking flexible learning options and aims to capture home-schooled and on campus students by providing high-quality instruction that is monitored and supported by district staff.
The total cost for the Imagine Learning/Edgenuity program to start is $4,250.00 for the 2025-2026 school year. This includes instructional services, digital libraries, enrollment fees, and professional development. Imagine Learning bills based on actual usage, allowing for cost-effective scaling.
This model ensures the district pays only for completed coursework, maximizing the value of instructional investment. Additional costs will be monitored and managed in coordination with the Superintendent, with expenditures adjusted based on student enrollment and course completion.

See attached budget sheet.
If expenditure is not currently budgeted, this will serve as the budget amendment when Board approved. If the agenda item includes the purchase of goods or services, the funds requested are an anticipated amount and may fluctuate depending on such factors as current market conditions, product availability, additional funding sources, and the needs of the District. Should the actual cost exceed the anticipated amount, the Board approves the additional cost, after review by the superintendent, but not in excess of the funds available in the site’s approved annual budget.
