According to this report, the Educational Service Center of Cuyahoga County can offer an online program for about $2,980 per student for a full course load all year. Meanwhile, TRECA Digital Academy, another publicly operated provider of online K-12 education, says it can do it for about $3,600 per student. This compares with the $5,700 the state government pays charter schools. Now (obviously) all these numbers are cherry-picked. But I would be interested to see a systematic study of what it costs to offer an equally good education online. Via Helge Scherlund.
