Abstract	The purpose of this phenomenological study was to investigate the perspectives of Texas school district administrators concerning the virtual school programs being implemented in their districts. Interviews with the eight participants were analyzed in an effort to provide a comprehensive explanation of their lived experiences (Moustakas, 1994). The researcher concluded that participants in this study believe that the virtual school programs being implemented in their districts provide students with an equitable and successful alternative to the educational experience received in the traditional classroom environment. Implications for practice included recommendations for developing and implementing a virtual school program and developing a process to determine which students would be successful in the virtual school program.
