The purpose of alternative learning opportunities is to assist the student to complete their education in an orderly, safe, and secure learning environment and to assist
students at risk of academic failure by providing a learning environment, programs, support services, and resources that will help them to satisfy the Illinois Learning Standards and to graduate from elementary or high school.The Board directs the Superintendent to develop guidelines that satisfy the Board’s commitment to meet the learning needs of all students. Guidelines should include:
| A. | admission and transfer of students to the alternative opportunities; | |
| B. | transitioning students back to the regular program; | |
| C. | elements of the Student Success Plan; and |
