While school year started Wednesday for Belgrade students, the alternative high school program will begin Monday. But the program has yet to find a permanent new home, and for the time being will be housed in two classrooms at the high school, officials said.
The district is considering leasing a portion of an 18,000-square-foot building in the Bruce Industrial Park, the former home of Phillips Environmental. School officials are looking to team up with Career Transitions and R.E.A.D.I. Workforce Training System to create a “one-stop shop” for training, counseling and other job-related endeavors.
