More students opting out of traditional schools, online classes see increase

by Marissa Kynaston, 13 Action News

Severe allergies can be difficult for anyone, but imagine going to school and being allergic to just about everything.  A girl in Nevada would have had to deal with that problem, if it weren’t for getting an education from the comfort of her own home. Sophia Riella had her first day of school, just like CCSD students across the valley, but Sophia didn’t have to change out of her pajamas.  Sophia is in her second year as a student at Nevada Connections Academy, a free online public school.  Her parents decided on this over a traditional school because of her severe allergies and autoimmune deficiency.
