Booneville continues to offer virtual option next school year Fort Smith Times Record The Booneville School District will continue to allow students to choose to learn virtually during the 2021-2022 academic year. Booneville Superintendent Trent Goff said school officials decided to offer students an online option because there will likely still be health concerns over COVID next year. Although the number of virtual students has fluctuated throughout the year, Goff estimated that there are about 50 to 60 online students in the district. This number started out much higher and dropped as students returned to in-person classes. “That has definitely come down," Goff said.
