Some
larger Stage II grants may be funded, but the focus is now on the third and final stage of the grant
program, which supports
large - scale
distance learning programs at institutions — so - called «Virtual Universities» — at which ALN enrollment is expected to be 10 % to 20 % of the total student number.
The report notes that while
larger public high schools offer more

programs for which data is available: Gifted or Honors classes, Advanced Placement, and
distance learning.
