Alternative Classroom for Dearborn County (ACDC. All students placed on short term (1-10 days) out-of-school suspension are subject to assignment to the Alternative Classroom for Dearborn County (ACDC) at the discretion of the school. ACDC is a county-wide program that provides an alternative to out of school suspension in which students are required to report to the ACDC location to serve their suspended days. Parents are responsible for transportation to the program and students are required to report with all necessary materials for the completion of class work and are required to bring a sack lunch. Since this is an alternative educational placement, student attendance is mandatory. Failure to report to ACDC, and behave in an appropriate manner while there, could result in the student and parents being summoned to appear in court. Students will receive credit for class work completed while in ACDC. The ACDC day runs from 8:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. and includes time for completion of class work in the morning, a supervised lunch and community service in the afternoon. More specific information on the ACDC program will be provided at the time of the suspension. Examples of violations that could result in OSS or ACDC: any repeated violation, possession of chemicals, setting a fire, extortion, false alarm, fighting, failure to report to ISS, etc.
