2451 - ALTERNATIVE CENTER PLANS/PROGRAMS
The Governing Board 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 local Districts in establishing an alternative school, in accordance with R.C. 3313.533. The purpose of the alternative school would 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. |
