2451 - ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL PROGRAM

It is recognized that some students may be "at-risk" of not completing their education. Indicators of risk may include: teen pregnancy, personal/family crisis, substance abuse, hospital discharge, underachievement, chronic truancy and/or a history of behavior problems.

Procedure for Alternative Program Placement

  1. Whenever the principal determines that a student may benefit from an alternative school placement, a referral should be sent to the Curriculum Office. The student and his/her parents should be informed, in writing, of this option, and an attempt shall be made to discuss this recommendation by telephone or in person.

  2. The Curriculum Office will screen the recommendation and application, and set up an intake meeting with the student and parents.

  3. The parent(s) and principal will be notified of placement decisions and scheduled enrollment date.

  4. Students may be enrolled throughout the semester, but must remain at least until the end of the semester. Reassignment of students back to the home school will be arranged through the Curriculum Office and the principal.

  5. Transportation to and from the alternative school will be provided by the parents.
