„X What part of the at-risk population will the program serve?

Most alternative programs serve students who are at risk of dropping out of high school.

They are usually recommended for alternative ed by teachers and administrators. The could also be referred by the courts.

„X How will the program address the needs of the students? * are they talking about offering classes to get clean, or like a big bro big sis thing*

An alternative ed program must also address the academic and employment education of the students. Included are remedial reading and math programs plus job training. Preparation for the GED or h.s. graduation are also necessary.

„X What additional social resources are available in the community that can be utilized for greater success? * am not sure*

State social services, churches, probation officers, and employment programs could be available.

„X What are the potential positive impacts for the district, students, and community? not sure

Students who are successful in school tend to be successful community members. An alternative school should help these kids become successful citizens.

„X What are the necessary steps for implementing the program?
not sure

You'll need a building, a curriculum, a strong administration, and dedicated staff members.

Answer 2

so i have to find a program that specializes in high school drop outs?

Answer 3

No. You don't have to find a program.

Just elaborate on the ideas you presented and I added to.

Alternative ed programs not only serve kids who have already dropped out -- but those who are still in high school or middle school who will probably drop out.
