Nevada Connections Academy settles with state, will keep online high school open
An embattled online high school scheduled to close permanently will now be allowed to remain open, following a legal settlement with the Nevada State Public Charter School Authority.
The charter school board in February voted 4-1 to shutter Nevada Connections Academy’s middle and high school over concerns about its poor academic performance. The fully virtual school had already voluntarily agreed to close its elementary school after several years of underperformance.
