MOCAP -- MISSOURI COURSE ACCESS & VIRTUAL SCHOOL PROGRAM
Senate Bill 603 established MOCAP, MO Course Access & Virtual School Program. MOCAP requires districts accept and pay for virtual course credit. Lone Jack C-6 will be utilizing LAUNCH Online Learning for MOCAP requests. Students can request enrollment by providing the guidance office with reasoning pertaining to how online courses fit into their path for graduation. Students will commit to the work, the calendar and the teacher’s expectations for the course. Students will have to attain administrative approval for all LAUNCH requests and administrators can refuse enrollment if believed to be in the best educational interest of the student.
Missouri Course Access and Virtual School Program (MOCAP) was established in 2007 as the state’s online school. It was previously known as Missouri Virtual Instruction Program (MOVIP). Currently, MOCAP offers courses for 9th through 12th grade and plans to expand to grades K-12. Students can take courses 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.
Local school districts and charter schools may use their own preferred online provider. The Lone Jack School District’s preferred provider is Launch. Launch is operated and overseen by the Springfield, MO School District and currently offers over 120 courses. 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 will do so through Launch. All information/procedures that follow in this document are in reference to Launch.
If a student wishes to pursue an online class offering through other MoCAP options outside of Launch, he/she will need to contact the counselor/admin to begin the appeal process. More specifics on that process are at the end of this document.
