Grant to create virtual school

Tennessee is one of nine states targeted in a new $20 million virtual learning initiative launched by the BellSouth Foundation.
The five-year program will support the creation of a virtual school to offer online classes statewide, as well as foster intense technology development in at least one disadvantaged community.
The announcement coincided with Tennessee’s recent $3.4 million investment in the development of online K-12 classes through the state’s e4TN program.
