Volusia County Schools is eliminating the AVID program from a majority of its schools, including all Ormond Beach area middle and high schools.
The district issued an update on its Advanced Via Individual Determination program on Friday, April 26, stating that while the "program has been successfully implemented and will remain at Creekside Middle School, Spruce Creek High School, and Taylor Middle-High School, not all middle and high schools in the district will continue to offer AVID as an elective course next year."
"The AVID program requires a membership fee as well as dedicated teachers, training, and materials," the district stated in its update. "For schools with lower student enrollment or interest in the program, choices have been made to ensure fiscal responsibility and shift resources from an AVID elective class toward other programs. In these cases, school administrators and staff carefully consider the specific needs of their student body and determine how to best utilize available resources to support student success."
