Dr. Ralph Lewis presented this policy for the second reading. The school system currently has alternative learning programs, not schools, and that perspective should be kept in mind when studying the policy. In the documentation, Dr. Lewis gave the example of a student being placed in an alternative program in lieu of out-of-school suspension. This placement will typically be at the same school where the student offenses occurred. Dr. Lewis noted that since the first reading of the policy on July 13, 2010, modifications were made to more reasonably reflect respective responsibilities of the superintendent and the Board of Education. Dr. Lewis made the recommendation to modify the last sentence of section B. to read, “By July 31 each year, the board will review whether the school system’s alternative learning programs and schools comply with State Board standards.” Al Hill made the motion to amend Policy 3470/4305 as recommended by Dr. Lewis. provided the second and all members voted aye.
