NORTH CANTON —The Hoover Foundation will give a grant of $50,000 to North Canton City Schools to cover the costs of providing students online courses, said district Superintendent Mike Gallina.
Gallina said the district will spend the $50,000 on a one-time fee to buy online course materials for about 42 classes offered by the Florida Virtual School including English, math and foreign language courses.
He said this will allow the district to offer the classes even if only a small number of students are interested in them. Students could take the classes at home or at school, and they would count toward credit for graduation.
Gallina hopes the online courses, which will be free to students, will attract students that his district has lost to charter schools
