Contract with Rural Virtual Academy discussed to address student enrollment

SPOONER — The Spooner School Board Committee of the Whole discussed contracting with the Rural Virtual Academy out of Medford and its scope of services to keep students in the district at their meeting Monday, Nov. 2. Supt. Dr. Marggie Banker said there are 50 students open enrolled out into virtual schools, which impacts the district’s student numbers and budget. Currently, the closest virtual school to Spooner is in Barron. With this partnership with the Rural Virtual Academy for a very small amount of money to share services, “we’d be able to keep some of (our) revenue,” Banker said. Rural Virtual Academy has academics for grades K-12 and special education, along with professional development services for employees. She said the district wouldn’t be able to recover all 50 students who open enrolled out, but the district will work on this. Students can also come into the Spooner school buildings for classes, as well, and hopefully, Banker said, choose to join Spooner Area School District full-time in the future. This is “a way to address our declining enrollment,” she said. The committee approved the partnership and forwarded discussion to the regular meeting later this month. In other action last week: The
