Rancher takes advantage of online school - Nelson Garcia, KUSA

One of the people at the 109th annual National Western Stock Show is a Denver student who does not always spend a lot of time in Denver. "I was working on a ranch at the time that school started and I didn't want to go back to public school," Jacob Leyba, 16 years old, said. Leyba did enroll in public school. He signed up for Denver Online High School to take classes on his own schedule and location. He was working on a ranch near Steamboat Springs. "The flexibility is what makes ranchers successful," Leyba said. http://www.9news.com/story/news/education/2015/01/10/rancher-takes-advantage-online-school/21582635/
