(San Antonio) -- The expansion of the Texas Virtual School Network is aimed at improving access to high quality courses for high school students.
Governor Rick Perry announced the VSN programs expansion at Cole High School in Fort Sam Houston Tuesday.
He says the growing capacity of the Internet and the increasing sophistication of distance-learning technologies are making it increasingly possible for students to take non-traditional approaches to continuing and completing their education.
The program will be made available to students in rural schools, home-schooled students and students who have dropped out of traditional high schools.
