The difficulties of in-person learning right now has caused some families to switch to home schooling.

Action news now reporter 'tori apodaca' is live at the chico unified school district..

Tori, what are you finding out?

Debbie, yes.

I spoke with chico unified today and they tell me that they have had 81 students move into homeschooling this year, which is a significant increase compared to years past.

With debbie, yes.

I spoke with chico "being homeschooled its on their own terms, so they have a little bit more freedom."

// macie scoubes, homeschooler "doing public school was getting harder because they were doing a bunch of new things and we couldn't know about it because they couldn't really teach us that much" chico unified does offer independent study options that are still under the guidance of their district's teachers.

Chico's oak bridge academy has grown to over 500 kids from usually being under 100 students in previous years.

At five i will share what homeschooling has looked like for that local family.

Live in chico, tori apodaca.

There are also homeschooling options through charters in the county that allow students to learn at home, but still have access to connecting with others in person.
