A group of local educators and school administrators are creating a new charter high school in Livingston County for the coming school year. FlexTech High School is scheduled to open this fall in the former building of the Genoa Woods Conference Center. It has grown from the FlexTrac program currently offered at Kensington Woods High School. Like FlexTrac, the new high school will be focused on technology-based learning. It will include both classroom and internet classes, allowing a teaching staff of six teachers to maintain small class sizes despite an estimated body of 200 students this fall. Subjects will not be divided into set courses, but divided into a number of core concepts which will allow students to learn them progressively. The school will not provide technology packages for students to take home on the presumption that the internet is publicly available. Information on how to sign up for FlexTech High School is available at Kensington Woods High School. (TD)
