Online Charter School in Oregon
The Bend-LaPine school district in Oregon will be launching the state’s first charter online school.. 25 students have already signed up. While Oregon districts have been leaders in developing online classes for students, this will be the first charter school set up to provide the majority of the instruction online. Diplomas will not be granted for students unless they attend a minimum number of classes in person, however, becaues “part of the high school experience…is being in the classroom with other students and participating in activities at the school.”
