History

In 2004. Governor Bob Riley created a task force to address issues regarding rural public schools who were not being able to hire additional teachers in order to offer more electives. The solution was to create a virtual learning environment that blended traditional and online/video conferencing resources. The outcome of this task force later created  ACCESS (Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide). The program was broken into three regional support centers (supervised by ALSDE in Montgomery, AL) to hire, train, evaluate, and support ACCESS teachers as well as be support outlet for schools utilizing the program. The three support centers were divided by the northern, central, and southern regions of the state and housed in Madison City Schools, University of Alabama and Troy University.
