Tuesday, Dallas ISD kicks off its Virtual Academy and nearly 1,600 students who are 11 years old and younger will take part.

According to Dallas ISD, more than 500 students who were previously considered “no shows” this school year have enrolled in the virtual program.

Fort Worth ISD is set to start registration for its virtual option if approved by the district’s Board of Education.

Registration will run from Aug. 25 through Aug. 29 with virtual classes starting Sept. 13.
