Plans to create a fully online academy in the Johnson City Schools system were in place even before the COVID-19 outbreak forced students and teachers to remote classrooms.
And if thereâs a bright side to the pandemic, said Superintendent Steve Barnett, itâs that it did allow the system to refine and troubleshoot its approach to remote learning before officially launching its online school.
