Online classes hoped to aid failing students - David Bergengren, the Republican
School officials hope that a six-month pilot program scheduled to start in January will offer an online learning alternative for struggling high school students. The program, called NovaNET and run by Pearson, a national education company, will have several focuses, including an attempt to salvage the academic careers of high school seniors who are in jeopardy of not graduating in June, said school officials during a presentation to the School Committee this week.

Czajkowski.
