Virtual - Courses with Students in Multiple Entities
Due to the pandemic we have now added virtual teachers, students and classes. Providing a virtual teacher at each building and each grade level is not economically feasible, due to the number of enrolled virtual students. Creating a new virtual entity is not an option due to state accountability.
This year’s solution for virtual teachers was to enroll them as a staff member in each entity. Classes were created with the virtual teacher and virtual students. Each of our virtual teachers have multiple gradebooks in each entity. For example, a teacher with five core classes at each of our six buildings, ended up with 30 different gradebooks to manage. That’s a lot to manage considering their class size is between 25 to 30 students.
We’ve tried to work through other solutions but so far, nothing has worked. We need a different option moving forward and planning for next school year.

It is too bad that Indiana cannot use the Cross-Entity Enrollment option. It seems like a good solution for this!
