BUTTE, Mont. (AP) — Butte school trustees have approved a policy that limits the number of online classes students can take while still attending Butte High School.

Beginning this fall, the Montana Digital Academy is offering free Internet classes to help students make up classes, work ahead or take courses not offered at some schools.

At Butte High, juniors will be allowed to take one online class per semester, while seniors will be allowed two. The school board said it would review the course offerings each year to approve them.

The policy also states that digital classes will be separated for the purpose of establishing grade point averages, for the honors program and for National Honor Society qualification.
