Hello, baze-ga!
I have compiled some additional references for programs serving
expelled youth, and agencies and individuals that may provide
expertise or referrals to other contacts for your project. I am sure
there are more programs, but these are the ones that came up in my
research. There were some programs I discarded because they were
outdated, had no websites, or the program parameters had changed.
I hope these references provide a good start for you! If I can clarify
anything further, please don't hesitate to ask. I will certainly try
to help in any way that I can.

"Fairfax sends up to 100 students a year to two Richard Milburn
campuses. Mainly serving students who have been expelled, Richard
Milburn is what Fairfax County administrator Douglas Holmes calls "a
program of last resort" for students who otherwise would be on the
street. It is a privately run school among the vast array of
district-run alternative programs. Why turn to a private company?
Robert H. Crosby, president of the Woodbridge, Va., business,
explains: "We?ll take your most difficult kids. We?ll keep them in
school -85 percent of our kids stay in schoolor graduate- and we?ll do
it for approximately the same per-pupil costs as the school district?s
cost."

Temporary Instruction Program
==============================
"The Temporary Instruction Program (TIP) provides instruction at the
middle and high school level to students who have been excluded or
expelled by the School Board and who are not eligible to attend
Richard Milburn High School or one of the three FCPS Alternative
Learning Centers."
"TIP will be based at the Reston Teen Center in a cooperative
partnership with the Fairfax County Department of Community and
Recreation Services. The initiative uses two distance learning
programs as the framework for instruction, coupled with supplemental
texts and materials to enhance the learning experience. Initially, TIP
will serve a capacity of up to 20 students at a time. Annually,
approximately 50-60 students may be served on a rolling enrollment
basis."

Proposed Programs
=================
"The Prince William school system is considering an overhaul of its
alternative education program after administrators said they were
concerned the county is suspending or expelling too many students. The
proposal, which was added a month after the budget was presented to
the School Board, would create an alternative school program for up to
180 high school students."
"In the past, a lack of space prevented the county from expanding its
alternative program offerings, Kelly said. The proposed program could
operate at night or during other off-hours in an existing school.
Teachers would be paid $4,500 a course for a class of 10 to 15
students."
"The offerings will be limited to core subjects such as math, social
studies, English and science that are required for graduation.
Behavior management courses also would be available. Each student
would be able to take four to five courses during the year, according
to the proposal. In addition, students would still be able to take
advantage of programs in place, including the virtual high school --
which provides classes online by computer -- night school, the GED
program and Richard Milburn School, a private alternative education
program in Woodbridge."

Alternative High School Students
Abstract: "Students attending the alternative high school developed a
program for the elementary schools similar to the "Get Smart" program
developed by the Department of Juvenile Justice. The students created
teams of four, consisting of two boys and two girls. The teams created
a speech discussing why they were expelled and sent to the alternative
school, the poor choices they made leading up to their expulsion, the
impact it has had on friends and family, and what a day is like at the
alternative program. A question and answer period follows their
presentation. Both teachers and chaperones noted increases in
students' confidence and self-esteem after each presentation. The
student noted that questions asked by the elementary school children
gave them insight into their behavior. Of the 12 alternative program
students that participated in the program, 11 became eligible to
return to their home schools at the end of the semester.

The DeKalb Alternative School serves 4th through 12th grade students
who have been expelled from their home schools. DeKalb Alternative
School employs a staff of 60 people, including a faculty of 35
certified teachers who average thirteen years instructional

Renaissance Center
===================
"More than two years ago, when board members first planned a new
Renaissance Center, they decided the new school would include a
program to serve the majority of students who now wind up expelled.
Most expulsions are for first-time offenses of the zero tolerance
policy on drugs and alcohol."
"It's a philosophical issue, I know, on how they want to handle these
kids," said Dave Stephens, coordinator of at-risk programs for the
district. "All I'm really doing is giving them information on ways
that they may be able to remove some of these kids who are involved in
violence or weapons and still be able to offer them educational
services," Stephens said.
The school district has been working on several other options not tied
to the new Renaissance Center. Ideas include having students earn
their GED or attend their final classes at the Horizon Center in
Crystal River. That program uses computer instruction to help students
finish up their last few classes and earn a diploma.
The district is considering other technology options, including a
computer-based curriculum called NovaNET, used in other school
systems.
"You have to try every avenue you can," Stephens said. "We always try
to look for ways to recover kids."

The Aldine School District requires expelled students to enroll in
alternative education. Those with severe infractions can enroll in the
Project Recovery program for middle and high school students. The
program serves an average of 150 students for a nine-week minimum.
Students take a full load of academic coursework and are taught to
serve the school community with various jobs within the district. The
goal is to teach these students a sense of self-worth and enhanced
social skills so they can return to the normal school environment. The
service projects help students to develop a sense of satisfaction
through helping others. All maintenance equipment used in the service
program is paid for by a $61,000 federal grant the Aldine school
district receives for Service Learning.

"Ironically, the district has seen successes with its program at John
Marshall High School, which runs "re-entry" programs that expelled
students must complete before they can return to school. Marshall,
which had no fights on its school grounds last year, has a smaller
teacher-student ratio than mainstream schools, can display marked
improvements between students' entrance and exit exams, and also
teaches courses on anger management, conflict and accountability --
teaching skills that, Marshall staff members say, mainstream teachers
haven't necessarily mastered."

An excerpt from "Decatur Revisited, By Linda Lutton. Rethinking
Schools Online (2001)
http://www.rethinkingschools.org/archive/15_03/Dec153.shtml
"The three million children suspended or expelled in a given year may
well represent a much larger problem than the threat posed by serious
school violence," suggests the D.C.-based Justice Policy Institute and
the Children's Law Center in their April 2000 report, "School House
Hype: Two Years Later."
"School expulsion is a big predictor of more serious and chronic
behavior," says Krisberg of the Oakland, California-based National
Council on Crime and Delinquency. "Kids who are expelled from school
have bad outcomes in terms of juvenile justice." He says an analysis
of adolescent health data shows that kids who were expelled or
suspended from school were much more likely to be victims of violent
crime in the subsequent reporting period."
"As in much of education, what happens to students after they're
expelled depends largely on where they live."
"A recent count by the Advancement Project and Harvard's Civil Rights
Project found that 26 states require districts to provide expelled
students with alternative education. According to the project's
report, "Opportunities Sus-pended: The Devastating Consequences of
Zero Tolerance and School Discipline," 18 additional states
"authorize" districts to provide such education. But recent
assessments by the Education Commission of the States and the National
Conference on State Legislatures counted fewer than a dozen states
mandating districts to continue educating expelled students."
