Idaho could make online classes mandatory for High School

The Idaho State Board of Education unanimously decided to pursue the possibility of making online classes mandatory for graduation from High School.

The board is considering requiring two credits to be taking online.  If it becomes reality, it would make Idaho the first state to require two online credits.

The Idaho State Board of Education is planning a 21 day comment period before making a final decision.  State officials say despite the 21 day comment period, they will probably approve the plan anyway.
