Alternative Placement
Student Support and Behavior Intervention Handbook
The goal of behavior support alternative placement is to help students improve academic skills, become more self-sufficient, and develop self-control. School administrators will implement interventions and/or consequences with all students in an effort to help them be successful. Students who fail to control their behavior after receiving repeated opportunities and consequences from the school, or students who commit serious offenses, will be suspended and referred to Student Relations so that their cases may be reviewed for potential placement in a behavior support alternative school. In situations that involve a staff assault or deadly weapon, the student will be automatically placed in one of our behavior support alternative sites. A student’s ability to return to the school of origin will be evaluated by the assistant superintendent for Climate and Culture.
The length of placement will be decided by the JCBE designee and will depend upon the facts and circumstances surrounding the behavior and governing state and federal law.
