San Jose Unified's online school a first in the San Francisco Bay Area

With six students enrolled and the capacity for dozens more, San Jose joins a handful of pioneers, including Tracy, Modesto, Clovis and districts in Southern California, in online education. Many other districts accept credits from university and for-profit online schools, usually for students trying to make up classes they missed or failed. But Liberty Online, as an online-only school, is different. It is free and open to any student in grades 6-12 living in Santa Clara County.
