• “A paucity of research exists when
examining high school students enrolled
in virtual schools, and the research base is
smaller still when the population of
students is further narrowed to the
elementary grades.” (Rice, 2006)
• A number of scholars have documented
the absence of rigorous reviews of virtual
schools (Barbour & Reeves, 2009).
• Cavanaugh, Barbour, and Clark (2009)
defended this state of affairs, writing
that “in many ways, this [was] indicative
of the foundational descriptive work that
often precedes experimentation in any
scientific field.”
• We can ask, however, how long must we
wait? K-12 online learning began around
1991 (Barbour, 2011).
• One area where existing, if limited,
research can provide some guidance to
policymakers is how to approach funding
for online learning
• As one of the few areas where a reasonable
body of literature exists, and where both
progressive and neo-liberal groups have
reached relative agreement.
Literature Finding
Hausner (2004)
- OH
“…cost per student [of cyber schooling] is not
enormously higher than for in-class students.
Over time, cyber education will become
substantially more cost-efficient.”
Ohio Legislative
Committee on
Education Oversight
(2005)
…actual cost of the five existing full-time online
charter schools was $5382/student, compared to
$8437/student for traditional public brick-and-
mortar schools.
Florida Tax Watch
Center for
Educational
Performance &
Accountability
(2007)
…Florida Virtual School to be $284 more cost
effective than brick-and-mortar education in
2003-04, and $1048 more cost effective by 2006-
07.
Dodd (2010) - GA …able to meet Annual Yearly Progress in 2009-
10 with 65% of the funding provided to
traditional schools, or $3500/student.
Literature Finding
Gillis (2010) - WI …able to operate its full-time online charter
schools at 65% of traditional funding, or
$6,480/student.
Barbour (2012) -
MI
…it cost 16% less in 2009-10 and was projected to
cost 7% less in 2010-11 to provide full-time online
learning than to provide traditional schooling.
Hassel et al.
(2012) - National
…full-time K-12 online learning costs between
$5,100/student and $7,700/student—or between
51% and 77% of the cost of traditional brick-and-
mortar schooling.
iNACOL (2013) –
National
many states funded virtual schools at 30-50% less
than brick-and-mortar schools, specifically
finding that the national average per pupil
funding for virtual schooling was approximately
$6,400, while per pupil funding for brick-and-
mortar schools averaged $11,282
• “…the operating costs of online programs are
about the same as the operating costs of a
regular brick-and-mortar program.”
Anderson, Augenblick, DeCescre & Conrad (2006)
• “…the operating costs of online programs are
about the same as the operating costs of a
regular brick-and-mortar program.”
• “…[analysis] excluded schools’ capital expenses
and transportation costs from their brick-and-
mortar estimates; had those costs been included
“the costs of operating virtual schools would
have been less per pupil than brick-and-mortar
schools.”
Anderson, Augenblick, DeCescre & Conrad (2006)

• One of the reasons why some have begun to question the
funding provided to full-time online learning is because of
the level of instruction provided by teacher, and the level of
local instructional support required of the parent or
learning coach
• Johnson v. Burmaster (2007) in Wisconsin found that
parents were primarily responsible for the instructional
support of students
• The importance of the learning coach is also evident in the
fact that programs such as Connections Academy and
Insight Schools have created substantial guides aimed at
assisting parents/guardians on performing the learning
coach role to support their children (Connections Academy,
2004; Kanna, Gillis, & Culver, 2009)
• The reliance of these online charter schools on the parent
as a primary provider of instruction and instructional
support have led some to question whether these programs
are publicly-funded instances of homeschooling (Ohanian,
2004)

SITE 2015 - Innovative Public Education or Glorified Homeschooling: Funding Full-Time K-12 Online Learning

  • 1. Michael K. Barbour Sacred Heart University
  • 3. • “A paucity of research exists when examining high school students enrolled in virtual schools, and the research base is smaller still when the population of students is further narrowed to the elementary grades.” (Rice, 2006) • A number of scholars have documented the absence of rigorous reviews of virtual schools (Barbour & Reeves, 2009).
  • 4. • Cavanaugh, Barbour, and Clark (2009) defended this state of affairs, writing that “in many ways, this [was] indicative of the foundational descriptive work that often precedes experimentation in any scientific field.” • We can ask, however, how long must we wait? K-12 online learning began around 1991 (Barbour, 2011).
  • 5. • One area where existing, if limited, research can provide some guidance to policymakers is how to approach funding for online learning • As one of the few areas where a reasonable body of literature exists, and where both progressive and neo-liberal groups have reached relative agreement.
  • 6. Literature Finding Hausner (2004) - OH “…cost per student [of cyber schooling] is not enormously higher than for in-class students. Over time, cyber education will become substantially more cost-efficient.” Ohio Legislative Committee on Education Oversight (2005) …actual cost of the five existing full-time online charter schools was $5382/student, compared to $8437/student for traditional public brick-and- mortar schools. Florida Tax Watch Center for Educational Performance & Accountability (2007) …Florida Virtual School to be $284 more cost effective than brick-and-mortar education in 2003-04, and $1048 more cost effective by 2006- 07. Dodd (2010) - GA …able to meet Annual Yearly Progress in 2009- 10 with 65% of the funding provided to traditional schools, or $3500/student.
  • 7. Literature Finding Gillis (2010) - WI …able to operate its full-time online charter schools at 65% of traditional funding, or $6,480/student. Barbour (2012) - MI …it cost 16% less in 2009-10 and was projected to cost 7% less in 2010-11 to provide full-time online learning than to provide traditional schooling. Hassel et al. (2012) - National …full-time K-12 online learning costs between $5,100/student and $7,700/student—or between 51% and 77% of the cost of traditional brick-and- mortar schooling. iNACOL (2013) – National many states funded virtual schools at 30-50% less than brick-and-mortar schools, specifically finding that the national average per pupil funding for virtual schooling was approximately $6,400, while per pupil funding for brick-and- mortar schools averaged $11,282
  • 8. • “…the operating costs of online programs are about the same as the operating costs of a regular brick-and-mortar program.” Anderson, Augenblick, DeCescre & Conrad (2006)
  • 9. • “…the operating costs of online programs are about the same as the operating costs of a regular brick-and-mortar program.” • “…[analysis] excluded schools’ capital expenses and transportation costs from their brick-and- mortar estimates; had those costs been included “the costs of operating virtual schools would have been less per pupil than brick-and-mortar schools.” Anderson, Augenblick, DeCescre & Conrad (2006)

  • 13. • One of the reasons why some have begun to question the funding provided to full-time online learning is because of the level of instruction provided by teacher, and the level of local instructional support required of the parent or learning coach • Johnson v. Burmaster (2007) in Wisconsin found that parents were primarily responsible for the instructional support of students
  • 14. • The importance of the learning coach is also evident in the fact that programs such as Connections Academy and Insight Schools have created substantial guides aimed at assisting parents/guardians on performing the learning coach role to support their children (Connections Academy, 2004; Kanna, Gillis, & Culver, 2009) • The reliance of these online charter schools on the parent as a primary provider of instruction and instructional support have led some to question whether these programs are publicly-funded instances of homeschooling (Ohanian, 2004)
