This guide is to be used by LAUSD personnel in conjunction with counseling and personal guidance to assist students and parents in the educational alternative placement process. Please do not distribute directly to students or parents.

OVERVIEW

This guide is a resource for school personnel working with at-risk students and their parents. It will assist school personnel with finding the most appropriate alternative educational placement for individual students. Placing students in a school or program that best fits their needs can help students successfully engage in learning and follow the path to achieving a high school diploma.

Los Angeles Unified School District’s (LAUSD) goal for every student is to graduate with a high school diploma and to be college-prepared and career-ready.

To support this goal, schools should provide students with comprehensive support that aids in removing any barriers to student success. It is the responsibility of every school to ensure that they are providing appropriate and thorough intervention implementation before an educational alternative placement is considered. Any student being considered for an educational alternative placement should receive a referral to COST (Coordination of Services Team), an SST meeting (Student Success Team), conferences which include both student and parents, and other interventions such as community agency referrals, class/track changes, and behavioral and/or academic support measures. All interventions should be clearly documented and appropriate follow-up is required. In short, intensive support should be provided to students at-risk of dropping out prior to making a referral to an educational alternative placement. Schools must provide in-school intervention and prevention recovery.

For some students, however, the traditional comprehensive high school may not meet their needs. Some students both require and benefit from a smaller learning environment, individualized instruction, targeted student support, and independent work plans.

This guide includes descriptions, matrices, and directories of district and non-district educational alternative placements. The matrices offer a quick guide of the resources available for appropriate student placement. Also, included in this guide is a recommended Referral Procedure Checklist form (Attachment A). Adhering to the steps outlined in this checklist will facilitate student enrollment and ensure record keeping. The Enrollment Verification Form (Attachment B) is a tool schools can use to verify a student’s enrollment at an educational alternative placement. Local schools may use the School Profile form (Attachment C1, C2) to collect specific information about educational alternative placements in their area.

This guide is intended for use by LAUSD personnel as a resource when working with students and parents considering educational alternative placements.

Before making a referral to any educational alternative placement, schools should provide students with comprehensive support that aids in removing any barriers to student success at their current comprehensive school placement. It is the responsibility of every school to ensure that they are providing appropriate and thorough intervention and student support before an educational alternative placement is considered. Any student being considered for an educational alternative placement should receive a referral to COST (Coordination of Services Team), an SST meeting (Student Success Team), conferences which include both student and parents, and other interventions such as community agency referrals, track changes, and behavioral and/or academic support measures. All interventions should be clearly documented and appropriate follow-up is required. In short, intensive support should be provided to students at-risk of dropping out prior to making a referral to an educational alternative placement. Schools should exhaust every intervention method available to provide in-school intervention and recovery.

LAUSD Alternative Educational Options

The following is a list of the many educational options for students within and outside of the LAUSD. Please become familiar with all of these options so you can make well informed referrals.

DISTRICT ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION

Continuation High Schools are alternatives to the large, traditional high schools and are designed to meet compulsory attendance mandates for students who are age 16 or older. Our continuation high schools provide small campus settings, low student-teacher ratio, individualized instruction, and extensive counseling to strengthen positive self-concepts. At a continuation high school, the student can expect a success-oriented learning experience, a course of instruction designed to meet district and state standards, an active participation in educational decisions, and recognition of individual worth. The goal is to graduate or transition students back to a traditional high school. Some schools offer four hour per week evening classes for students who are employed for 30 hours or more per week. These classes offer students a program of academic and elective courses that fulfill graduation requirements. This is a specially designed program of individualized instruction with major emphasis in occupational orientation and work experience skills. Reference: Bulletin No. 2430, Enrollment in Continuation High Schools.

Contact phone numbers: Contact the local Continuation School or

Educational Options Office (213) 241-0600 Central High School is a multi-site continuation high school that reaches out to the community by delivering high school instruction from community-based agencies. Its numerous branches, located throughout the District, provide a unique educational program that serves specific targeted groups of high-risk students. All branches share the Options philosophy of individualizing instruction and the Options mission of providing a quality education for students. Reference: Bulletin No. 2430, Enrollment in Continuation High Schools.

Community Day Schools (CDS) are designed for students in Kindergarten through grade 12 as an educational placement option for expelled and other high-risk students as established by Assembly Bill 922 and further defined in Assembly Bill (AB 1845). The CDS schools are for students who have been expelled for any reason, or referred by: probation, a School Attendance Review Board (SARB), or other district level processes. This last refinement of the law permits the district to place students in CDS who have histories of behavior problems and repeated academic failure. The law also allows special education students to be placed in Community Day Schools rather than in non-public schools (NPS). Students in Community Day Schools are required to attend a mandatory six-hour instructional day. Reference: Bulletin No. 847, Referral to Community Day Schools.

LAUSD Alternative Educational Options Pregnant Minor Schools meet the educational needs of pregnant middle and senior high school students. They provide special programs at sites located throughout the school district. They offer classes required for graduation as well as special classes in birth preparation and parenting. They make available counseling by school nurses and information on health and nutrition. The primary goal of the School-Age Mother Schools is to provide interim educational opportunities to the expectant mother so that she may continue her education. The student is encouraged to develop skills and attitudes that will enable her to provide positive modeling for her child. Reference: Bulletin No. 2060.0, Pregnant and Parenting Students Educational Rights.

Los Angeles Unified School District The:HeArt Project

The HeArt Project is a 19-year old nonprofit arts education organization that partners with alternative education high schools in LAUSD, the LA County Office of Education, and the Culver City Unified School District. The program utilizes the arts to engage students in their complete education and keep them on track to graduate high school with a plan for their futures. In partner school sites, listed below, students receive 2 hours of arts education each week from September through June, with the opportunity to advance to upper level programs at local arts colleges and universities. The HeArt Project and LACOE expanded their partnership in summer 2010 to open the Hollywood Media Arts Academy. Each week, Academy students receive 10 hours of arts education (taught by The HeArt Project staff) in addition to classes in other academic subjects (taught by LACOE staff) for a full high school curriculum. Through the arts, students learn to take creative risks, work collaboratively, improve critical thinking and problem solving skills, and increase community awareness and participation, all skills valued in a 21st century workplace.

Please note: The following schools are not under the jurisdiction neither are any of the charters listed in the previous section of the Los Angeles Unified School District. When discussing any non-district placement with parents and students, it is important to inform them that the LAUSD does not assume responsibility for the education and services provided by these schools.

Job Corps was founded to assist young people with the educational opportunity to earn a high school diploma or GED and job training. It was established by the U.S. Department of Labor as a free enterprise system for motivated young adults from 16-24 who participate in residential and non-residential programs. The Los Angeles Job Corps Center is located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles and offers 24 different skills training from Computer Programming to Auto Repair to X-Ray technician. In addition to training and education the students receive medical and dental care, clothing allowances, spending money, meals, dormitory accommodations and recreational activities. Graduates of Los Angeles Job Corps go on to exiting careers, college or military and advanced training. Tours of the campus are available by appointment.

Los Angeles Conservation Corps (LACC) operates three charter school sites accredited by WASC. At the three campuses-LACC High School, Eco Academy and Youth Opportunities High School more than 250 students who did not succeed at a traditional school get another chance to earn a diploma. These charter schools provide students (ranging in ages from 15 to 23) with a holistic learning experience that integrates academics with experiential learning. Each of the campuses offers a unique experience. The schools operate on a four quarter, year round system. Students may be admitted at the beginning of any quarter.

(877) 9LA-CORPS www.lacorps.org

At LACC High School approximately 100 students receive instruction in classes of 10 to 15. They also have case managers who assist students in overcoming personal challenges to graduation. Since students are 18 and older, this campus focuses on job skills and transitioning to employment. This involves hands on service projects.

Young Adult Corps High School caters to the 18-24 year-old youth enrolled in the Young Adult Corps and provides a second chance at a high school diploma and applicable work experience that will make them competitive for living wage jobs. This site fulfills the Young Adult Corps’ school/work model by offering eight-week blocks of high school classes that are separated by alternating blocks of paid on-the-job training on work projects. Academic instruction at Young Adult Corps High School involves small classes of 15-20 students who study the required core subjects needed to pass the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) including mathematics, English (reading and writing), science, history, computer technology and a number of elective courses (e.g., economics, speech, government or foreign language). Soledad Enrichment Center (SEA) operates over a dozen school sites in the LAUSD area. Students aged 14-18 are accepted including individuals with IEPs. They offer a continuous enrollment system where new students are administered English/Language Arts and Mathematics assessments which are evaluated with transcripts from previous schools to determine skill levels and then an Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) is created. The classroom teacher designs an individual schedule of classes where the student day is organized into three, 120 block periods within which students move in three stations for periods of 40 minutes. The stations include; small group direct instruction, independent study or cooperative learning groups, and Computer Assisted Learning (CAL). SEA offers a wide range of support programs including; a career specialist, instructional assistants, family support and services, violence prevention and special education. Currently, they are in the initial stages of the WASC process.

The:HeArt Project

The HeArt Project is a 19-year old nonprofit arts education organization that partners with alternative education high schools in LAUSD, the LA County Office of Education, and the Culver City Unified School District. The program utilizes the arts to engage students in their complete education and keep them on track to graduate high school with a plan for their futures. In partner school sites, listed below, students receive 2 hours of arts education each week from September through June, with the opportunity to advance to upper level programs at local arts colleges and universities. The HeArt Project and LACOE expanded their partnership in summer 2010 to open the Hollywood Media Arts Academy. Each week, Academy students receive 10 hours of arts education (taught by The HeArt Project staff) in addition to classes in other academic subjects (taught by LACOE staff) for a full high school curriculum. Through the arts, students learn to take creative risks, work collaboratively, improve critical thinking and problem solving skills, and increase community awareness and participation, all skills valued in a 21st century workplace.

Recommended REFERRAL PROCEDURE CHECKLIST FOR ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAMS

When determining what placement is appropriate for your student, follow these guidelines to ensure timely enrollment.

Verify home address and determine school of residence.

Call the designated program/school contact. Verify space/availability. Discuss eligibility criteria as it relates to the student’s profile. Seek consensus from school/program to move ahead in the enrollment process.

While speaking to the designated program/school contact, determine what steps to take to facilitate enrollment. If it’s possible to schedule an intake appointment at that time (while the parent and student are in your office), do so.

Verify what documents the parent and student should bring with them to the intake appointment. Determine whether or not an assessment is part of the enrollment procedure. If there is an orientation that both parent and student need to attend, verify the time, date, location, etc.

Write down all the above information. Give a copy to parent and student. Provide them with directions to the school/program using Mapquest or the MTA web site.

Assist parent and student with obtaining all the necessary documents needed for enrollment. You can walk parent and student to the Counseling Office/Track Center, introduce them to the clerk assigned to help them, and advise the clerk what it is they need. If a Pass Through PAR is needed, assist parent with obtaining that by making the appropriate phone contact with the home school and/or utilizing a fax to expedite the process.

As appropriate, direct student to continue attending class until they are ready to enroll in their new program. At that point, parent and student must return to school to check-out. Remind student to bring all text books at that time. Parent must bring a photo ID.

Call school/program to verify student completed the enrollment process. Document enrollment using the Enrollment Verification form (see attached) and file with student’s Parent Assurance Letter obtained at check-out. If the student has not enrolled, contact parent and offer guidance/assistance until enrollment is complete.

Document each step in SIS/ID19 so that other school staff may be advised of the pending transfer and provide support as needed.
