Lexington 2 & 3 to offer online school makeup days

Posted

Lexington Districts 2 and 3 will use eLearning days for school make-up days.
They are 2 of 10 additional districts approved to participate in the 2019-20 school year, the Education Oversight Committee announced.
Lexington 1 in Lexington, Gilbert and Pelion is not involved in the pilot project.
"We have makeup days on our calendar." Mary Beth Hill of Lexington 1 said.
eLearning allows districts to continue lessons at home when classes on regularly scheduled school days are cancelled, as in the case of inclement weather. Students will communicate with teachers and have classwork to complete and turn in during eLearning days.
A total of 15 districts will now be part of the program, the committee said. 
“We’re excited to be part of eLearning,” said Lexington 2 Superintendent Dr. William B. James Jr. “This program will provide continuous learning for our students, on days when school might be cancelled unexpectedly for weather. We also hope it will be less disruptive for families, since we won’t have to adjust the district calendar to make up missed days.”
For the 2019-20 school year, 1st-year districts will provide support and assistance to the 10 newest districts as they launch their programs, the Education Oversight Committee said. Lexington 2’s partner district will be Anderson 5. The oversight committee also will work with SC ETV, State Library, and the S.C. Department of Education to provide resources and support.
