District planning for online school - Ted Taylor, The Bend, Orgeon Bulletin

What starts this summer with about 50 online courses for Bend-La Pine high school students could soon turn into a virtual curriculum allowing students to earn most of their high school credits without setting foot in a classroom. About 25 high school students have signed up this summer to catch up or forge ahead with online courses offered through a partnership with the Salem-Keizer School District. This fall, Bend-La Pine plans to launch its own, limited online program for students. And as early as fall 2004, the district hopes to start an entire online charter high school that will allow students to take much of their school curriculum via computer.
