Alternative Education Referral Process

Making a Referral

The intake process is quite simple. Any student who is referred to the Alternative Education Program (AEP) must have an intake meeting. The meeting will be attended by the student and his or her parent(s), the student's guidance counselor and Special Education liaison, if necessary, the chair of the AEP, an AEP teacher, the AEP social worker, and a student representative from Peer Counseling. The goal of the meeting will ultimately be to determine whether or not the student will be best served in the AEP. If it is decided that the AEP is the best option for referred student, the team will develop an academic plan and goals for that student. The team will also identify a date on which they will reconvene and assess the student's progress in the program.
