Online: Crossroads alternative - LAURA TODE, Billings Gazette
If the Billings School Board decides to close Crossroads Alternative High School, trustees plan to plug potential dropouts into the NovaNET program, an online, distance-learning curriculum that aligns with district and state standards. NovaNET has been used with success for several years in the district's adult education program, and is being piloted this year in Senior and West high schools. NovaNET offers students the opportunity to recover lost credits and graduate on time. Rather than take summer school or night classes at their own expense, students can take advantage of NovaNET at the schools during the school day. At West High, 70 students are using NovaNET to retake earth science, biology and math classes. At Senior High the numbers are about the same.
