Setting Up An Online Summer School Program

Summer learning tends to be a challenge for school leaders everywhere. The logistics of staffing, funding, and scheduling face-to-face summer programs can be tricky. By setting up an online summer school program, you can provide families in your community with flexible summer learning options, take the burden of work off your staff, and put funds back into your budget.​
