Ten Kankakee High School students are getting a look at what the future might hold in Illinois for advanced placement courses. Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti, who leads the Governor’s Rural Affairs Council, announced a pilot program for online AP classes. Kankakee is one of 10 school districts participating in the pilot, which includes 75 students. Tri-Point High School, in Cullom, is the other area school participating. The pilot is part of the Illinois Virtual School, which the Illinois State Board of Education runs. The goal of the program is to expand AP classes to students in rural communities so they can earn college credits.
