Alternative Education programs are designed to meet the needs of public school students in grades 6-12 who have not been successful in the traditional setting. Students are provided with a variety of options that can lead to graduation and are supported by services essential to success.
Students may have multiple Alternative Education records. However, Alternative Education dates may not overlap one another. Before creating a new record, all previous records must be end dated and assigned a Reason Exited status.
Fields vary by state. Please see your state's State Tools articles for more information on Alternative Education procedures in your state.
