Lewisville ISD will expand its virtual learning offerings for the 2026-27 school year after the board of trustees approved the new programs at the Feb. 9 board meeting.
What you need to know
LISD will pay $3.04 million for these programs annually for two years using the general operating, state and local funds, per district documents.
The new programs will allow ninth graders to take classes fully online starting in fall 2026, according to the district’s website. Additionally, ninth graders can take a mix of online and in-person classes.
Students in 10th-12th grade interested in taking online classes can participate in the hybrid online program and take both virtual and in-person classes, per the website.
Both the full-time online program and the hybrid program are only available for students enrolled in LISD, according to the website.
These new programs expand online access to advanced placement, dual-credit and career and technical education courses, offering flexibility and college readiness for students, per district documents.
Diving deeper
The new online programs became an option for public schools after the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 569, which allows districts to receive state funding for students enrolled in virtual classes.
For more information on the virtual class offerings, there will be an online information session at 6 p.m. Feb.18 via Webex. Parents attending can register for the meeting online.
