Thank you very much for making the choice to enroll your child full-time into Pasco eSchool for the upcoming semester.

As you may know, Pasco eSchool is an educational choice made available by the School Board for the many parents who would rather have their children educated through an online format, as opposed to being educated in a traditional brick-and-mortar school.

Given the fundamental nature of online education, the modality, methodology, and presentation of your child’s education through Pasco eSchool will differ significantly from the education available to them in a traditional brick-and-mortar setting. This letter is to help you understand some of those differences so that you can make an informed decision as to whether Pasco eSchool is appropriate for your child.

Both Federal and Florida law require that Pasco County Schools offer students a “free and appropriate public education”, commonly referred to as FAPE. A main component of FAPE is that your child’s education is “appropriate” so as to afford them the opportunity to make appropriate progress in light of their circumstances. While Pasco County Schools wants to support your freedom of parental choice, we also want to make sure that your choice is an informed and knowledgeable one. As such, it is our duty to inform you that data exists, which indicates that a virtual, online education is not appropriate for some students with disabilities due to their specialized needs.

To maximize your educational options and parental choice, while affording reasonable access to Pasco eSchool to diverse members of our educational population, we are happy to make the reasonable accommodations necessary for your child to have the opportunity to participate in Pasco eSchool. Under law, a reasonable accommodation is one that does not fundamentally alter the nature of Pasco eSchool, and which does not create an undue financial hardship on Pasco County Schools. For example, Pasco County Schools is not in a position to change the nature of the Pasco eSchool virtual experience in order to create an online replication of the brick-and-mortar schooling experience. Unfortunately, even with reasonable accommodations, Pasco eSchool is simply not an appropriate school of choice for some students. As such, it is important for us to collaborate and problem-solve in order to help inform you as to whether Pasco eSchool is an appropriate educational choice for your child.

For all students engaging in online education, parents are an integral part of their child’s education. And although each Pasco eSchool course is led by a certified teacher who provides regular online instruction, all virtually educated students need additional guidance and support from their parents. Parents are expected to assist their child by monitoring them daily, helping them navigate their education, ensuring their child is progressing on weekly basis, and by ensuring their child is gaining content mastery. In essence, Pasco eSchool is an educational format designed for independent students, who, with parental assistance, have the ability to successfully navigate their education without the additional assistance and services that are available in the brick-and-mortar setting.
