Alternative Instruction Sample Clauses

Alternative Instruction. A charter school, like its district public school counterparts, is obligated to provide alternative instruction to students who are suspended, whether in-school or out-of-school. Such instruction can be at a location and time of the school’s choosing, so long as each is reasonable and the student has notice of it. For instance, a school can choose to provide tutoring to a suspended student at the school, the student’s home or some other reasonably accessible location, either during the school day or before or after school hours. Alternative instruction means actual instruction as opposed to simply giving homework or assigning self-study. The quality of the instruction is to be designed to allow the student to keep pace with school work, receive all assignments, tests, quizzes, etc. and generally advance with the curriculum. Alternative instruction for one-day suspensions may be provided in the school on the next school day, and should be documented. For example, a student could come in early or stay late or skip recess to receive the alternative instruction. Alternative instruction must be provided by qualified instructors, i.e., certified or allowable non-certified instructors that are NCLB highly qualified.

Xxxxx, 419 U.S. 565 (1975)), namely, a student’s (parent’s) right to know the reason for the suspension and the right to tell his or her side of the story prior to or shortly after commencement of the suspension. Greater protections apply to longer term suspensions and expulsions including additionally the right to counsel, to confront and present witness, and to challenge and present evidence.
