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.
