Regional
Learning Academy
The Regional Learning Academy began serving
students on April 14, 1997 as a result of state legislation which called
for an alternative program for youth, grades 6-12, who are considered disruptive.
This state action was in response to federal legislation which directed
states to enact legislation requiring school districts to expel students
who bring weapons to school. This alternative program provides educational
programming to those students who have been expelled and are in need of
educational alternatives. Contact: Glen Hartjen, Director, 815/986-0663.
Regional
Learning Center
The Regional Learning Center is an educational alternative for
young people between the ages of 16 and 21 who have left school before
graduation and reside in Boone or Winnebago County. There is no fee for
services. Currently, two locations offer a comprehensive continuum of education;
academic skills, job seeding and job keeping skills, and support to increase
the likelihood of success for youth reentering the educational system.
