In July 2012, two pieces of legislation were passed in our state regarding student access to online
learning opportunities. Senate Bill 289 mandated school systems to offer opportunities for
students to take online courses, and House Bill 175 established the creation of a clearinghouse for
stakeholders to find online courses and course providers in the state of Georgia. By way of the
letter attached below and as required by law, the McDuffie County School System seeks to inform you of the key
components of each piece of legislation and how to find online learning opportunities for your child.
