Plano ISD had more than 350 students in each of its third, fourth and fifth grades enroll in the temporary, parent-led virtual option being offered for students in pre-K through sixth grade, according to district staff.
The district previously gave a preliminary total of 2,396 students who enrolled in the asynchronous virtual learning option for students too young to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Fourth grade has the highest share of virtual learners with 366, followed by the 365 second-grade students who were enrolled in the option. The district’s lowest share of virtual learners is the 136 in pre-K, while sixth grade had the next lowest with 240 students taking PISD up on the option.
District staff said enrollment continues to fluctuate on a daily basis.
The temporary virtual learning option began Aug. 16 and is scheduled to last through Sept. 3. The deadline for parents to register students for the option was Aug. 11.
