Alternative Education Advisory Committee
Alternative Education Advisory Committee
As part of our eight-year plan for education, SDE launched six goals. One of these goals is to rank among the top 10 states with the highest graduation rate for students in four-, five- and six- year cohorts. To do so, one of the areas we must bring focus to is alternative education.
We know alternative education programs across the state are doing wonderful work in supporting our most at-risk students, but we need district guidance on designing strategies and supports to move alternative education forward.
Below are links to the agendas, handouts, and recordings for each meeting.
