If your child is trying to access Florida Virtual School today, they may be experiencing issues, according to a recent social media post from officials.
On Monday, FLVS posted on Facebook that heavy usage is impacting VSA, the system that students log into to access their classes. Officials reported slowness and intermittent outages on the first day of school.
The heavy usage is due to full-time students as well as students enrolled in FLVS Flex through homeschool, County Virtual Schools and those taking online courses through brick-and-mortar schools all trying to access the system at once, they said.
"Today was the first day of school for nearly every school district in Florida, leading to thousands of students trying to access the system at the same time," the post read.
Officials said the IT team is working to resolve the issue as soon as possible and apologized for the inconvenience.
Brides, families fighting for refunds after event venue closes suddenly
“We’ve struggled so hard to scrape the money to be able to do this for her,” Irizarry said. “She’s my only girl and I wanted this so much for her.”
Couples and families who had weddings and events planned at a well-known venue that abruptly closed claim they’re out thousands of dollars and aren’t being given refunds. Annette Irizarry was supposed to hold her 15-year-old daughter’s quinceañera in August at the Clearwater location and said she’s now out the $6,160 she paid. Without that money, Irizarry said she can’t afford to have her daughter’s celebration somewhere else.
