Section 126-20-5 - Flexibility in Program Development

5.1. Alternative education programs for disruptive students encompass a range of program options such as: in-school suspension; a separate part-time or full-time alternative education classroom; a school-within a school; a school on an alternative site; an after school class/night school program; or a combination academic/work-based program.

Such a waiver request does not have to be submitted in accordance with the procedures for requesting waivers stipulated under W. Va. Code '18-5A-3, but may be submitted directly to the State Superintendent of Schools.

5.2. Program flexibility does not extend to modifying the provisions of Policy 2419: Regulations for the Education of Exceptional Students in providing alternative education programs for students with exceptionalities or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
