The West Central School Corporation is seeing some results from its credit recovery program. Superintendent Don Street says 24 credits have been earned by students in the Trojan Opportunity Academy.
The program allows students who have fallen behind the chance to make up the work online. It also gives students the chance to take classes that aren’t normally offered by the school corporation.
At the same time, Street says the corporation continues to gather information about its use of e-leaning days. “[Elementary school principal Dan] Zylstra and an administrative team completed a survey, and 85 percent of our students have Internet access at home,” Street says. “So we use that data and look at that data as we continue to progress with the possibility of e-learning days in the future, if those are necessary.”
West Central has introduced e-learning over the past few years as a supplement to built-in snow days. In the past, students without Internet access at home were able to go to school on Saturdays to complete assignments.
