If someone could forward this to the wikiversity mailing list too (I assume there is one?), that would be cool.
thanks, Brianna

Everyone,
I'm very pleased to announce the formal establishment of the Open High School of Utah. OHSU is a publicly funded high school in Utah, USA, whose charter commits it to using ONLY open educational resources. The school will be 100% online and 100% OER, opening to Utah 9th grade students next fall in 2009.
As you can imagine, there is a large amount of material that needs to be located, aggregated, and even developed in order to support a high school running exclusively on OERs. I'm very hopeful that we can find ways to collaborate to put together this curriculum for the OHSU, and I am even more hopeful that we can find ways to repurpose this curriculum in your own local contexts for the benefit of you and your neighbors.
Preliminary information is available online at http://openhighschool.org/
David

Wow, that is exciting news. I wonder if we can coordinate some outreach and development to help them with some core texts. Any other ideas for collaboration around this?
Mike

I agree mike, even if Wikibooks currently doesnt have enough to support a curriculum, I would love to work with this group to see about creating a curriculum for them, one that can be maintained and updated regularly. Being free and easy to update/maintain are obviously some of our strengths.
Thanks Brianna for the heads-up!
