This year's report provides information relative to the operation and viability of public virtual schools and virtual education programs for the 2023-24 school year. In compliance with state statute 1, the report provides information relative to student enrollment, academic performance, and funding for virtual education and includes data for public virtual schools and their establishing local education agencies (LEAs) . Additional information related to virtual education is available on the department’s virtual school webpage.  \nHighlights in Public Virtual Education  \n• The number of public virtual schools operating in Tennessee remained steady with 58 schools during the 2023-24 school year, compared to 59 schools in 2022-23.  \n• Enrollment in Tennessee public virtual schools remained steady with 12,630 students during the 2023-24 school year compared to 12,653 students in 2022-23.  \n• Approximately a third of Tennessee’s non-virtual public high schools offered online or virtual courses in addition to traditional in-person courses during the 2023-24 school year.  \n• Many virtual schools provide a temporary alternative to traditional schooling for students who have unique needs. These flexibilities lead to increased student mobility, and studies have shown that increased mobility leads to unfavorable academic outcomes.  \n• Approximately 30% of students enrolled in a virtual school did not remain enrolled in the school for the entirety of the school year; this is a significantly higher mobility rate compared to the mobility rate of students attending a non-virtual school (14%) .  \n• The number of virtual schools that earned a school-wide TVAAS composite score of 3 or greater (21%) was significantly lower than the number of non-virtual schools that met the same measure (66%) .  \n• The department has implemented a virtual school monitoring framework that analyzes the operational, academic, and fiscal viability of a virtual school.  \n1 T. C.A. § 49-16-104  \nVirtual Education Landscape in Tennessee  \nLegislative History of Virtual Education in Tennessee  \nThe Tennessee General Assembly passed Chapter 1096 of the Public Acts of 20082, which provides school districts and students with a broader range of educational opportunities through effective use of technology outside of a traditional classroom. Through this Act, local education agencies (LEAs) were granted the authority to utilize state education funds, seek out grant funds, and accept donations to implement virtual education programs. Although this Act promoted virtual education, LEAs maintained discretionary authority whether to offer virtual education for its students.  \nIn 2011, the General Assembly enacted the Virtual Public Schools Act 3 to expand upon previously enacted virtual education program legislation. This Act gave LEAs the authority to establish virtual public schools to offer students additional educational opportunities. Furthermore, virtual schools established under this Act are public schools and must be allotted the same resources afforded to other public schools in Tennessee. In addition, the Act required the Tennessee State Board of Education (SBE) to promulgate rules and regulations related to the operation and establishment of virtual schools and virtual education programs 4.  \nDivisions of Virtual Education  \nSBE rule 5 divides virtual education into two separate categories: public virtual schools and virtual education programs. This differentiation provides both LEAs and public schools with the flexibility to offer virtual education to students as needed. LEAs may establish and operate a public virtual school to deliver instruction to students primarily via the internet in a virtual or ","cbCaim1hhB9dHkhk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim1hhB9dHkhk","pdf",915027,28,"English","# Executive Summary\n# Highlights in Public Virtual Education\n# Virtual Education Landscape in Tennessee\n## Legislative History of Virtual Education in Tennessee\n## Divisions of Virtual Education\n# Establishment of Virtual Schools","[{\"question\":\"How many public virtual schools and students were reported for 2023-24 in Tennessee?\",\"answer\":\"The report states there were 58 operating public virtual schools in 2023-24, compared with 59 in 2022-23.
