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.
See the core Alternative Education article for information on necessary tool rights, available Ad hoc fields, and guidance on adding and printing Alternative Education records.
