What's the difference between Flex Online and Comprehensive Distance Learning?

FLEX Online School provides a unique option for families who want online learning even after schools open again. Comprehensive Distance Learning (CDL) is a fully online option for families who want to stay enrolled in and connected to their neighborhood school. At this time these are the only two options for students returning to the BSD. For the CDL option, students will follow a schedule very similar to what their day would look like in the school building. The curriculum and pacing used in CDL will be consistent with what will be used when it is determined safe for students to return to school buildings.

FLEX Online School will use a curriculum that is designed to be delivered online. Both programs will include teacher created materials and align to the BSD learning targets/standards.
