   I think your proposed plan is reasonable, Mr. Sherlock.

   Your recommendations have a lot of merit. To create the reports you identify, it would seem that the ADM of the students enrolled in Virtual Virginia or a MOP would need to be identified separately from a division’s ADM of students attending schools in traditional buildings. Essetially, each school district would have two or three ADM numbers: regular, Virtual Virginia, and MOP. The total of the three would be the ADM used for SOQ purposes.

      That is certainly one way to do it. One key to parental and school division choice will be VDOE reporting the virtual schools the same way it does brick-and-mortar schools in the School Quality Profiles. See https://schoolquality.virginia.gov and pick a division and any school in any division and you will see all of the reporting on brick-and-mortar schools. Pretty straightforward. Don’t change that system, just add the virtual schools.
