| Our Day at the Capitol was a HUGE success. Thanks to all who participated.
Please register TODAY for the Wisconsin Coalition of Virtual School Families' 2009 Day at the Capitol.
Virtual schools in Wisconsin are still subject to an arbitrary enrollment cap that will see students turned away from the public school of their choice next year. What does this cap mean to your family? Your neighbors? What's the latest news from Madison? Are virtual schools still in jeopardy?
Students, teachers, parents and administrators of Wisconsin's online public charter schools will meet in downtown Madison on October 20, 2009 to raise awareness of virtual schools in the state, demonstrate to policymakers the powerful constituency behind online learning, and to find out what's next for our schools.
This year we will be gathering at the Inn on the Park, directly across the street from the Capitol in Madison. More details on the day's agenda will be forthcoming, but it is important for participants to be registered as soon as possible.
Please complete the registration form so we can plan accordingly.
