As with everything, even the face of summer school is changing. Gone are the days when those students unlucky enough to not quite make the grade have to give up part of their summer, stuck in a classroom in summer school. Classes are still offered, but thanks to modern technology, classes offered in the summer semester are done online. Tim Mills, superintendent of education for Upper Canada District School Board, said this is the first year they have not have any stand-up model, face-to-face classrooms. “The numbers dwindled over the years and really made it difficult to run a quality program,” said Mills. “The numbers were so low.” Mills said they are not the only school board offering online classes.
