Frisco ISD on Wednesday opened the application forms for its new online and hybrid programs called FISD + in which high school students can earn credits starting in 2022.

In the hybrid program, students will take four “core†online courses – English, Math, Science and Social Studies – and go to campus for all other courses. Hybrid students are eligible to participate in UIL activities, fine arts, athletics, and vocational and technical education (CTE) programs, according to a district statement.

In the full-time online program, students take all courses online. The district said students will need to travel to campus from time to time for science labs and to pick up required course materials. Full-time online students will not be able to participate in UIL activities and competitions.

The Legislature passed Senate Bill 15 this fall after FISD and other districts advocated in Austin for virtual learning options for students.

Students who qualify for the FISD + program must have passed the 2021 level STAAR exams or equivalent; passed all classes for the 2021-22 school year; and have less than 10 unexcused absences during the 2021-22 school year. Applications close at 4 p.m. on Friday, December 17.

According to a district statement, students who meet the admission criteria are chosen by lot and, once approved, will receive an engagement form at the end of summer 2022. An appeal process will be sent to students. students who are refused admission.
