(KAAL) - As the funding for our public schools decreases, class sizes get larger and more is asked of our teachers, there is an alternative out there.

Last night we told you about a degree program at Rochester Community and Technical College that's can be completed entirely online.

Tonight, another program offers four years of public high school online. 

Fourteen-year old Meghan Quast has traveled across the country with her dad in his truck. 

She'll be a high school freshman next year and lives in the Rochester Mayo School District. 

But she may not spend the next four years in Mayo's hallways.

"I like traveling, but then of course I need an education, too,” she says.

She lives alone with her dad.

And when he's got to hit the open road, so does she.

"I own the trucking company so I’ve gotta go,” says Peter Quast.

And since Meghan can't be in class each day, she needs an alternative.

She's thinking about taking classes online since it lets her avoid some parts of regular high school. 

Her dad says she may get more individual instruction from online tutors and he can keep tabs on her. 

"It isn't like you're sending your kid off to school and you wait six weeks, eight weeks to get your report card back." 

"It’s kind of sad cause you're used to seeing [your friends] everyday but it's still fun cause you can talk to them.”

And the idea is catching on.

There are now 90,000 Minnesota students taking classes online.

Kurt Morem works for the Insight Online School and says there will be social opportunities.

"We have debate clubs, chess clubs, pet lovers clubs, yearbook [and] newspaper." 

Morem says his school works for kids who work full time to support sick parents.

He has elite athletes that need flexible schedules and young single mothers. 

And even if Meghan is busy traveling and studying, she's back often enough to visit with friends.

The Insight School is a public school, so there is no tuition.

Money for the school comes from taxpayers. 

And enrolled students are eligible to participate in sports in the districts where they live.

The only qualification to get in is that your parents must be Minnesota taxpayers.
