Missouri Course Access Program (MOCAP)
The Miami School District will provide access to virtual (online) coursework for students. Students and families who are interested in virtual coursework should contact Mrs. Johnson and inquire about the Missouri Course Access Program (MOCAP). MOCAP offers virtual online courses for students statewide. Students can take an entire course from any Internet-connected computer, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 

MOCAP’s mission is to offer Missouri students equal access to a wide range of high quality courses and interactive online learning that is neither time nor place dependent.  

The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and the State Board of Education oversee administration and quality assurance activities such as related content and delivery of courses. Missouri-certified teachers facilitate MOCAP courses. MOCAP provides Missouri students with equal access to a wide range of coursework, anywhere, any time. For more information, visit the MOCAP website (https://mocap.mo.gov/about.html).  


Local school districts and charter schools may use their own preferred online provider.  The Miami R-1 School District’s preferred provider is Launch.  Launch is operated and overseen by Springfield Public Schools. Launch currently offers over 180 courses with full programming available for students in grades K-12. Courses are designed by Missouri teachers and aligned to the state standards.  A formal review process is built into all course development to ensure high quality and rigor.  Students wishing to take advantage of online learning opportunities may enroll by contacting Mrs. Johnson.

NOTICE: 
Because virtual instruction can be an effective education option for some students, the district may offer virtual courses to students by contracting for those services as part of the district-sponsored curriculum. In addition, eligible students may enroll in virtual courses offered through the Missouri Course Access Program (MOCAP).  The district will accept all grades and credits earned through district-sponsored virtual instruction and MOCAP. The district will pay the costs of a virtual course only if the district has first approved the student’s enrollment in the course as described in this policy. Even if a student or his or her parents/guardians pay the costs for a virtual course, the student or parents/guardians should meet with the principal or designee prior to enrollment to ensure that the course is consistent with the student’s academic and personal goals.  

The district is not required to provide students access to or pay for courses beyond the equivalent of full-time enrollment. The district will provide supervision for students who take virtual courses in district facilities but will not provide supervision for students taking virtual courses offsite. 
Students taking courses virtually are subject to district policies, procedures and rules applicable to students enrolled in traditional courses including, but not limited to, the district’s discipline code and prohibitions on academic, dishonesty, discrimination, harassment, bullying and cyberbullying.
