GREENFIELD – Even though there has been no final decision on Greenfield opening a virtual school this fall, school officials are still optimistic that they will get the OK from the state, so they have been hard at work to ensure that the school will be able to open.
On July 21, the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education passed the commissioner’s proposed virtual school regulations that many felt would make it impossible to start the Greenfield school in September.
But, the board also voted to allow the commissioner to rule on the waiver request submitted by Greenfield, asking that some of the provisions in the new rules be waived so it could open its school this fall.
School Committee Chairman John Lunt said on Monday that he is optimistic that they will get the green light to open the virtual school and expects a decision soon.
