Alternative+School

At the first meeting, the following questions were posed:

 * Does this need its own Principal/Coordinator or is it shared with another person?
 * Initial discussion favors a separate coordinator.
 *  What types of wrap-around services should we offer to at-risk students?
 * Twilight school?(Olympia, WA)
 * Diploma?
 * Staffing and staff-student ratios?
 * Linkages to other services? What’s out there? How do we connect?
 * Online component geared toward credit recovery?

At the 2/8/12 meeting, we discussed the following next steps for people interested in forming a working group:

 * Clarifying who is the target population for this strand: developing a profile
 * Developing a list of questions for a survey of our current students who fit the profile that can be shared with K12 Insight
 * Developing a list of questions for a survey of teachers regarding the potential target population that can be shared with K12 Insight
