Problem Background In Colorado • 13,903 students are enrolled in an online program – 87% living outside their home district • This is a gain of 12.5% in online students from 2008 to 2009 In Thompson • 357 students are home schooled and 1326 students attend in another district • All enrolled students don’t have online or hybrid access
