The Chicago Tribune (6/11, Byrne) reports, "Chicago public high school students will be able to take online courses this summer for classes they failed, in a move Mayor Richard Daley hopes will save money." Students will be able to use the computer labs 30 high schools throughout the city. "Certified teachers will teach the online classes, but schools CEO Ron Huberman said the district will save money by allowing a single teacher to teach a course to students around the city."
The Chicago Sun-Times (6/11, Spielman) reports, "In addition to high school students seeking to wipe out F's, the program will have three other tracks." They are for "7th- and 8th- graders who need remedial work in pre-algebra and composition to prepare them [for] high school; students who want to knock off core courses" before the fall; and "high school juniors interested in doing independent study in partnership with the Shedd Aquarium, the Art Institute and Broadway in Chicago."
