Join us for this important update of the school board's ongoing review of the alternative program.
Without widespread parental support and involvement, it is unlikely that the alternative program will continue to exist. If the program is shut down, the alternative schools will not be able to continue as they are. On a practical level, the catchment area will become smaller and busing will be impacted. On a more profound level, the non-competitive, sympathetic, multi-age, community-oriented atmosphere will change. If the program is saved, it is very likely that its delivery and locations will change. "Weak" alternative schools may close and those that remain may be asked to develop independent philosophies and provide accountability structures. Parental involvement and support will be key for this to work.
