Abstract	During the past ten years, many school districts have established alternative schools or programs for students who are seriously disruptive and academically unsuccessful. This bulletin describes five different types of alternative programs that have been effective in dealing with disruptive youth. They include the Tri-C Community Centered Classroom Program in Los Angeles (California); Project Advocate in Geneva (Illinois); Positive Alternatives To Student Suspension (PASS) in Pinellas County (Florida); For Love of Children in Harpers Ferry (West Virginia); and the Westside Alternative School in Omaha (Nebraska). These programs are currently in operation and represent a range of strategies. For example, Tri-C uses a family-type setting, intensive counseling, and community resources. Project Advocate operates a behavior disorder component. PASS includes eight programs for school staff and students. For Love of Children is an outdoor living and education experience, and the Westside Alternative School focuses on academics, parental involvement, and vocational training. (Author/MLF)
