Motions and Communications
The following communication was received:
Grand Valley State University Charter Schools Office
September 26, 2022
Section 553a(5) of the Revised School Code, 1976 PA 451 requires that: “[a]t the end of a cyber school’s second complete school year of operations, the authorizing body of a school of excellence that is a cyber school shall submit to the superintendent of public instruction and the legislature, in the form and manner prescribed by the superintendent of public instruction, a report detailing the operation of the cyber school, providing statistics of pupil participation and academic performance, and making recommendations for any further statutory or rule change related to cyber schools and online learning in this state.”
Grand Valley State University (“GVSU”) is the authorizing body of PrepNet Virtual Academy (“Academy”), which is a public cyber school. Founded in 2020, the Academy was initially authorized to meet what was, at that time, an emerging need for sustainable online education borne from the COVID-19 pandemic. It began small and, as many other public schools transitioned from remote to in-person instruction, grew to meet the needs of families who preferred an online experience for their children’s education. We are proud of the progress that PrepNet Virtual Academy has made in meeting this need.
This report documents the Academy’s progress in its first two years of operation and is submitted in fulfillment of the above-referenced section. The Academy’s continued progress is continuously monitored and annually evaluated by the GVSU Charter Schools Office (“CSO”). Its most recent annual report, as well as a copy of its charter contract with GVSU, is available online at http://www.gvsu.edu/cso.
Do not hesitate to let me know if you or any members of the Michigan House or Senate have any questions about this report. We are happy to provide additional information upon request.
Sincerely,
Don Cooper
Assistant Vice President for Charter Schools
The communication was referred to the Secretary for record.
