SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. — The Seminole County School Board voted Tuesday to remove the district’s “Seminole Connect” remote learning option for the 2021-2022 school year.
Seminole County Public Schools created four different learning models for the 2020-2021 school year, “to meet the unique needs of students, families and educators,” during the COVID-19 pandemic.

SCPS also cited student performance data that shows students participating in face-to-face learning generally outperforming Seminole Connect students.
SCPS will still offer two learning options for the 2021-22 school year: face-to-face learning, and Seminole County Virtual School.
