MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - All Alabama high schools will soon be
outfitted with distance learning technology that makes classes
available to students from one end of the state to the other.

All 371 Alabama high schools will be involved in the ACCESS
Distance Learning program starting in the 2009-10 school year.
That's a year earlier than planned.

State Superintendent of Education Joe Morton and Gov. Bob Riley
made the announcement Tuesday and said Alabama will be the first
state to have such a program statewide.

The program allows students to take classes online and through
video-conferencing.

More students will have access to advanced placement and other
courses that might not be offered at their schools.
