Fewer than 4% of California students opted for independent study this year, data shows |
Just under 4% of California students are enrolled in independent study this school year, forgoing — at least temporarily — the chance to return to in-person learning, according to new data released by the California Department of Education. The preliminary data shows that statewide, 3.8% of students have opted to study at home because they or their families are at high risk of contracting Covid or they thrived under distance learning last year and want to stay with it.
