MOCAP

  • Missouri Course Access Program (MOCAP) in Hazelwood School District

    The Missouri Course Access and Virtual School Program (MOCAP) has developed a catalog of virtual online courses for students. Beginning with the 2019-2020 school year, students will be able to take an entire course 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, flexibility in scheduling, and interactive online learning. The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and the State Board of Education oversee administration and quality assurance activities such as related content and delivery of courses. Local Education Agencies (LEAs) that provide virtual education outside of MOCAP are responsible for ensuring alignment and other statutory requirements are met.

    Eligibility Requirements

      • The student is a resident of Missouri. 

      • The student is enrolled in a public school district or charter school. 

      • If applicable, a parent/guardian and student must engage with Individualized Education Plan (IEP) team in the resident district before beginning the transfer process to a full-time program.

      • The resident district IEP team holds a meeting to consider whether Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) can be provided by the host district and virtual provider.

      • Upon the IEP team concluding that FAPE is able to be provided, the IEP team will draft an IEP contingent upon the student enrolling in the hosted MOCAP program.

If a student enrolls in a hosted Mocap program, they will transfer to the host school district and no longer be a student of the Hazelwood School District.
