Many school districts in Michigan claim state budget cuts have forced
them to make drastic reductions in programs and course offerings. This
is not the case in Oxford Community Schools, which has added sports
teams, doubled its entire fine arts program and created an orchestra and
world language programs.
The district also has developed a virtual academy, which is anticipated to double enrollment within the
next five years. In this video, you'll meet the minds behind the virtual
endeavor, as well as students, a parent and teacher who are excited to
take learning to a new cyber level.
