Alternative to Suspension Program
Goals:
Eligible Juveniles:
Program Services: Certain infractions or incidents of school rules can result in a student being suspended. The Alternative to Suspension Program has been designed to offer a supervised environment, which helps the juveniles learn the consequences of their behavior while offering a non judicial resolution. Each Juvenile is eligible to participate in the program 2 times during each school year. Minor infractions like tardiness and truancy are not considered to be appropriate referrals. Appropriate referrals would be minor drug and alcohol offenses on school grounds, minor weapon offenses, attempted theft, repeated personal conduct violations, battery between students, gang affiliated behavior (signs, colors, graffiti ), gross disobedient, inappropriate use of school property (school phones, school computers) and other incidents as deemed appropriate by the home school and the reporting center officials. Acceptance into the program will reduce initial suspension by half or nearly half as we will round up. (A 10 day suspension would be reduced to 5 days at the Alternative to Suspension Program.) While the juvenile is participating in the Alternative to Suspension program he/she may not attend or participate in any school activity or event and is prohibited from being on school district property. In attendance days at the Alternative Program will be counted. The student will receive full credit for all work completed that is handed in on the first day the juvenile returns to home school. All participants must meet with the vice principal upon returning from the Alternative to Suspension Program and review cognitive worksheet and turn in the notice of successful completion. If the program is not completed successfully then the original suspension will be enforced by the school and the school is allowed to pursue any additional options. Special Education Students will follow home school guidelines.
