Sean Duggins of Woodridge, front, and Chris Hanley of Downers Grove, both employees of Rinkers Installation Service in Morrison, unpack new chairs in the parking lot at the Champaign school district's new academic alternative academy in Champaign on Wednesday.
CHAMPAIGN – A brand-new school is being built from the ground up on North Randolph Street. Not the bricks-and-mortar kind of building, but a program with a new way of helping students learn.
The Champaign school district's Academic Alternative Academy is preparing to open for high school students who want a nontraditional setting. Its 60 students will begin registration next week, and they'll be moving from Centennial and Central high schools to the small brick building, formerly used by the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District, at 815 N. Randolph St.
