MMSD to expand online learning program

A pilot online learning program, the Madison Promise Academy, will expand for the 2022–23 school year, according to a Wisconsin State Journalreport. In a 4–3 vote, the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) approved increasing the instructional technology budget by $850,000 to expand the program to include students in grades 4–12. The district will accommodate the expansion with federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds.
