As a means of furthering its program of progressive discipline and assisting students who may require a more structured academic environment, the School System provides an alternative school setting for middle and high school students.

Students who are suspended or expelled may be required to attend the Alternative School as a condition of readmittance to their assigned school. Such attendance shall be limited to a maximum of one semester in a school year.

The length of assignment to Alternative School is to be determined by the Alternative School principal, the principal who imposed the suspension/expulsion and the Director of Student Services. Their decision may be altered only by the Director of Schools. Students expelled under the zero tolerance provisions of this policy and who are expelled for a period of not less than one year, will be allowed to attend the Alternative School only as allowed by the Director of Schools after consideration of the modification of such expulsion on a case by case basis, and only upon a space available basis.
