| Abstract | This study analyzes the establishment of public alternative schools and programs from the perspective of school district management. An alternative school or program is defined as one that is full-time, is available to students on a voluntary basis, and is in some way distinctive from the district's standard program. Chapter 1 is introductory. Chapter 2 provides a background sketch of the sample districts. Chapter 3 describes the origins of alternatives, the methods for establishing new programs, the types of educational changes attempted, and the resources made available for implementation. Chapter 4 analyzes a series of management issues in implementing alternatives, comparing the ways in which these four districts handled them. The six issues are assigning staff, providing staff training, allocating facilities, establishing procedures for student selection of programs, providing information to the consumer, and establishing procedures for parental participation. Chapter 5 explores the current status and future prospects of alternatives in each district. Chapter 6 summarizes what has been learned about effective strategies for creating and managing public alternative schools under different types of conditions. An appendix examines the types of excess costs that may be involved. (Author/IRT) |
