How You Can Get Involved!
We need as many families and supporters of virtual school access to get engaged in our efforts! The more our elected officials see the support that virtual school access has, the more likely we will achieve our goals.
- Sign our Petition: https://www.change.org/MDVirtualSchoolAccess
- Join our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1122309412717215
- Keep track of the legislation (HB583): https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Legislation/Details/hb0583?ys=2025RS
- Share your thoughts and support for virtual school access to key state Legislators to let them know you support our efforts. Specifically we need testimonials from those who have been displaced or negatively affected when their virtual school was eliminated or reduced. Key points to consider when crafting your email or making your phone call: - Tell your story: How has the closure of your virtual school affected your child and family? What changes has your family made to adjust to the lack of a virtual school? How is your student doing academically, mentally, emotionally? - Focus on Ensuring Access: Our driving goal is to ensure that students in Maryland, who need or thrive in a virtual environment, have access to a high quality virtual school. Talk about what that access will do for your student and family. - Show Support for HB583: HB583 is the legislation that will ensure that local school boards provide that access to students. Talk about your support for the bill and your desire that it passes this session so that our students don't go another year without access to a virtual school that works for them .
