  • Idaho Digital learning Academy (IDLA) is a US state virtual school founded (established by Legislature) in 2002
  • 14,300 course enrollments in 2009-10; this represents an increase of 49% since 2008-09
  • A government entity but recognised as existing outside the state education agency
  • 98% of Idaho school districts have at least one student taking an IDLA course
  • Works in partnership with Idaho school districts “to offer online choices that would not otherwise exist,” especially in remote areas
  • Despite rapid growth, public funding was cut in Spring 2010. IDLA secured private funding and capped 2010-11 enrollments, unable to meet demand.
