The Alternative Center has two components -- short-term and long-term assignments. Short-term students are in attendance for five or ten days. These students continue with the same assignments as the students in the home school. Long-term students are assigned for more than ten days and they have an educational program developed for them at the Alternative Center. This program improves the chances of success for students who have more serious difficulties in school, at home, or in the community. The goals are to address the student's needs as soon as possible and to decrease the need for out-of-county residential treatment for these students thus saving or reducing treatment costs. The Alternative Center provides a meaningful educational environment for students who cannot achieve their educational goals in a traditional setting. Students with negative behavior patterns work to establish their own short-term and long-term goals. Community support services are available and opportunities for parental involvement help our students accomplish realistic goals. School, court, and human service officials interesting in visiting this program should contact: Glenn Marchal, Director |
