IHBH: ALTERNATIVE
SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Some children have great difficulty
coping with the conventional school program and as a result will drop out of
school. Some children require more support and direct supervision than is
reasonably available in conventional school settings. And, some children, along
with a highly structured academic experience, require a special focus on life
skills and an appropriate vocational involvement.
The School Committee will provide
access to alternative education programs where these needs have been identified,
where establishment of such programs is feasible, and where the proposed
programs fall within the function normally associated with the public school
system.
These alternative educational programs
will seek to provide an appropriate academic, social, and vocational experience
to aid these young people either to reenter the regular school system, move into
another educational setting, or prepare them for successful
employment.
