Virtual Education

Tax dollars from cannabis sales in Illinois are now starting to flow to East St. Louis in the form of a grant bolstering programs to help students.

It’s highly likely some amount of virtual learning will be necessary next school year. But educators say their online schools are here to stay.

Educators at both public and private schools in St. Louis County explain how they are making in-person learning work in difficult circumstances.

St. Louis Public Schools announced plans to bring back pre-K through 2nd grade students on Monday. Older students in the 3rd through 6th grades will return Oct. 26. For middle and high schoolers, late November is the earliest possible start date.

Many schools are now conducting classes 100% online. Navigating virtual education has many families scrambling to make it work, but likely none more so than families with special needs students.
