A San Francisco nonprofit plans to announce a $25 million fund Monday to create Bay Area schools focused on "blended learning," the concept of coupling traditional teaching with online resources to improve student performance. 

By 2018, Silicon Schools Fund Chief Executive Brian Greenberg hopes to provide seed capital for up to 25 new or redesigned local schools. The group has raised half of the fund so far, including $5 million from the Fisher family, owners of Gap Inc.
