Clayton County virtual students who are faring poorly academically or not coming to class online could have their remote learning privileges stripped from them in the coming weeks.

Clayton County Schools Superintendent Morcease Beasley said Tuesday that the district is evaluating the performance of the 8,500 or so virtual students and those who are struggling academically or cutting virtual classes routinely may have to return to school buildings for face-to-face education.

“If you’re going to remain virtual, you must be learning and you must be successful,” Beasley said during a YouTube Live update of the academic year. “If not, you will hear from your school.”

Beasley said the district will inform parents after Nov. 29 whether their child has been recommended for reassignment from virtual learning because of performance or attendance issues.

“It’s important parents that students are attending class every day, that they’re learning the content and that they are demonstrating mastery of the content,” he said.
