2451 - ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL PLANS/PROGRAMS
The Board of Education recognizes that the regular school program may not be appropriate for all students and that certain students may need special programs to help them overcome attendance, academic, and/or behavioral problems.
The Board authorizes the Superintendent to establish or to cooperate with other Districts in establishing an alternative school, in accordance with R.C. 3313.533. The purpose of the alternative school will be to provide
| A. | an option to suspension/expulsion from school. | |
| B. | a program to help students overcome academic failure. | |
| C. | a program to help students remediate their behavior. | |
| D. | a program to help students who have recently been discharged or released from the custody of the Department of Youth Services. |
The Superintendent shall develop a plan for the alternative school and submit it to the Board for approval. The plan is to include but not necessarily be limited to:
| A. | the criteria for admission that the Board will use to approve or disapprove a student's assignment to the school; | |
| B. | the criteria and procedures that will be used to transfer a student from the alternative school back to his/her regular school; | |
| C. | a plan for evaluating the effectiveness of the alternative school and for sharing the results of the evaluation with the community; |
