1. Distance learning in American K-12 classrooms received its legislative impetus when the U.S. Congress passed Public Law 100-297 in late 1988. allocating $100 million to create the federal Star Schools Program in support of distance learning. The program has served more than 1.6 million students across the nation. These students, however, represent only 3.5 percent of all public elementary and secondary students. Therefore, the overall impact of Star Schools has been minimal at best. For more information on the program, see U.S. Department of Education, What is the Stars Schools Program? (Washington, DC: Dept. of Ed., 1996), available at 〈www.ed.gov/prog_info/StarSchools/whatis.html〉.
