Does this sound familiar?
- We don't have much money as we did last year.
- We had to make serious budget cuts
- We lost hundreds of thousands of dollars to public online high schools.
- Now we have TO DO MORE WITH LESS!
What happened? Some of the ADM you should have received went elsewhere; here's how...
Suzy Q failed Algebra 1 at your school. She enrolls in a "free" online school to recover the credit. Suzy earns the credit, and her parents are happy because they did not have to pay anything for it. Her school counselor is happy because Suzy received her diploma. BUT, your school budget is SAD!
The TOP 10 schools districts in Arizona sent 3612 "Suzy Q students" to these "free" online schools and lost money.
3612 students = 2.1 million dollars
Each Suzy Q you let get away costs you $600!
How much of that $2.1 million did your school district GIVE AWAY?
(Nothing in the online high school world is free. If you students are taking online courses through "free" online high schools, those schools are submitting attendance for those students and are taking your district's ADM.)
Blueprint can help you DO MORE with less
Expand your curriculum offerings and keep teacher costs low
It's easy to increase your curriculum offerings with distance learning courses without having to provide additional certified teacher expenditures. Full turnkey courses can be offered with grading services by certified teachers for much less than $600 per student enrollment.
Open a credit recovery computer lab in your school
Schedule your computer lab as an addtional study hour or a free period for students to work on online courses in conjunction with their regular school day schedule. A non-certified teacher or faciliator can be used to manage the lab.
Offer in-house distance learning options to increase graduation rates
Every year some seniors find out late in the school year that they are lacking enough credits to graduate. Instead of hoping that these students follow throught outside of your school, create an in-house accelerated option for them. You can give the necessary personnel support and encouragement to make up credits. The students graduates and your school keeps it's ADM. That's a WIN-WIN situation!
