Section LXXXIII-3503 - Alternative Schools Including Alternative Charter Schools [Formerly Sec. 3501]
A. For the purposes of school accountability, alternative schools are those schools that:
1. have a separate site code; and
2. enroll some or all students for 45 or more days.
B. A student placed at an alternative school for fewer than 45 days shall be considered to be attending an alternative program within the school, and as such, must remain enrolled in their sending school.
1. For the purposes of this chapter, a sending school is the last school a student attended. If the student's current grade level is not included in the configuration of the last school they attended, the LEA must enroll the student at school that includes the student's grade using a feeding pattern or attendance zone when possible.
C. The school performance scores and letter grades of alternative schools will be published with other schools.
1. Alternative schools will be clearly labeled as alternative schools in public releases.
2. Alternative schools with sufficient data shall also be evaluated in the subgroup component in the same manner as regular schools.
3. The school performance scores for alternative schools will exclude the assessment data for students who are not full academic year (FAY) enrollees.
D. Starting with evidence of student progress from the 2014-2015 academic year, all alternative schools shall receive a performance report that shall include, but not be limited to, data pertaining to academic progress, credit accumulation, completion, and behavior modification.
