In the past two decades, public concern about violence, weapons, and drugs on elementary and secondary school campuses, balanced with concern about sending disruptive and potentially dangerous students "out on the streets," has spawned an increased interest in alternative schools and programs. Yet, little research has been conducted on alternative education on a national basis. The 2001 "District Survey of Alternative Schools and Programs," conducted by NCES through its Fast Response Survey System (FRSS), is the first national study of public alternative schools and programs to provide data on topics related to the availability of public alternative schools and programs, enrollment, staffing, and services. The focus of the study is on alternative schools and programs that serve students who are at risk of educational failure, as indicated by poor grades, truancy, disruptive behavior, suspension, pregnancy, or similar factors associated with early withdrawal from school. The study presents a snapshot of alternative schools and programs for at-risk students during the 2000­01 school year.

7. CATALYST, March 1996: Milwuakee's Alternative Schools Lessons from Milwaukee Evaluation too late to save some schools by Curtis Lawrence funding three of about two dozen alternative schools participating in the districts partnership program. Tony Baez, a University of wisconsin education professor who was hired by http://www.catalyst-chicago.org/03-96/036mil.htm

Lessons from Milwaukee Evaluation too late to save some schools by Curtis Lawrence An independent evaluation of the program had found that while some schools provided a rigorous education, others were little more than "dumping grounds." "One problem with the Milwaukee program was that it lacked a solid evaluation method until years after the partnership program was up and running," says Tony Baez, a University of Wisconsin education professor who was hired by the school district to evaluate the program. With little support or direction from the School Board, some programs had foundered by the time an evaluation finally was conducted, he says. With Baez as an advisor, Chicago seems to be avoiding that problem. "What Chicago is trying to do is make sure that before the program is established, the alternative [schools] are viable," he notes. For one, Chicago gave contracts only to organizations that had been operating similar programs for at least two years. Unlike the Chicago program, the Milwaukee program attempts to reach students with academic or discipline problems before they leave the system. Regular schools make referrals, and the alternative schools recruit students. Launched in 1985, the program now includes 20 alternative schools, which receive 1-, 2-, or 3-year contracts depending on their track records.

9. Alternative High Schools: Models For The Future? The principal wisconsin urban center is Milwaukee. response to the state mandatesfor atrisk programming, Milwaukee developed a number of alternative schools. http://horizon.unc.edu/projects/HSJ/Knutson.asp

The Future of Secondary Education Alternative High Schools: Models For the Future? Gay G. Knutson Carroll College gknutson@carroll1.cc.edu Abstract A little known movement within public school systems, the creation of alternative schools for at-risk students has been in existence for several years. Alternative high schools have grown nationally in both quality and number. These schools for both existing and potential drop-outs rely heavily on forming learning communities where both teacher and learner are empowered. Innovation and flexibility are usual practice in alternative high schools. These schools and other options should be studied and their key elements identified. Today's problem-plagued standard high schools could use new models for their delivery of educational services to today's youth. They're found in crumbling inner city buildings, in strip malls, in old school buildings and within existing schools. They have optimistic sounding names like Capstone, Crossroads and Learning Enterprise. They have varied financial and educational arrangements. And they are popping up all over the landscape, mainly urban but also suburban and rural. What are they? They are small alternative high schools. The term alternative education was originally construed as an umbrella term covering a range of options in schooling. Presently its meaning has evolved into an understanding of programming for at-risk youth; those who are likely to not finish high school.

12. Alternative Schools | NW Education effective alternative schools are more like safety nets into which struggling studentscan choose to jump. When researchers at the University of wisconsin http://www.nwrel.org/nwedu/summer_98/article2.html

"T he ninth-grade student was a show stopper. Half of her head was shaved, and the other half was freaked out in a bold explosion of hair, bells, and ribbons. She had three gold studs in her nose and was wearing at least a dozen earrings that jingled like wind chimes when she moved. In her own distinctive way she was a beautiful young girl. I asked her why she had left her former high school to travel across town to a small alternative program. She thought for amoment then explained, 'At my other school everyone treated me like a geek; everybody thought I was kind of weird. Over here...it's like, I just disappeared into this really happy family..." Hope at Last for At-Risk Youth S tudents attending the nation's estimated 15,000 alternative schools come in all sorts of colorful packages. More than a few adopt hairstyles, wardrobes, street language, and attitudes that would make them stand out—or be kicked out—of mainstream classrooms. But what's most remarkable about this diverse student body isn't outward appearances. It's that these students, many of whom face obstacles ranging from poverty to teen pregnancy to long-term academic failure to chronic delinquency, are making an appearance in school at all. A growing body of research and years of anecdotal evidence show that students who have been labeled failures, troublemakers, or dropouts in traditional schools can thrive in smaller, more individualized settings. That may sound like plain common sense to any teacher who has worked to pull a struggling student back from the brink. It's especially timely news, however, as communities across the country wrestle with the staggering social and economic costs associated with undereducated youth. After years of operating on the margins of public education, alternative schools are getting a serious look from many different interest groups: proponents of school reform, corrections workers overwhelmed by juvenile caseloads, and employers concerned about finding enough educated young people to fill tomorrow's workplaces.

Alternative schools Will they meet expectations? by Lorraine V. Forte When Ada S. McKinley Community Services opened its new alternative schools in mid-February, they were so swamped with students that director Pamela Kennedy had to get up at 3:30 a.m. for a week to get the schools organized. "We had so many students show up, I ended up teaching class—and I haven’t done a lesson plan in 12 years," says Kennedy, division director of therapeutic education, with a laugh. "But I’m really excited about it. So many of the kids are saying, ‘This is my chance to get myself together.’ " The alternative schools initiative generally has been applauded as a long-overdue attempt to give dropouts a second chance and make regular schools safer by shipping out troublemakers. "This is an idea that’s been kicked around for 15 years," says Jack Wuest, executive director of the Alternative Schools Network. "Now, in the space of four months, it’s up and running." Enough money?

Archives Hart, Kathleen Mary. Milwaukee public schools desegregation collection, 1975-1987. UWM Manuscript Collection 90 .6 cubic ft. (1 archives box and 1 small archives box) ABSTRACT: Miscellaneous records created or compiled by Hart concerning the desegregation of the Milwaukee Public School (MPS) system. Most of the collection contains Hart's files on the Committee of 100, which was an advisory group to the MPS Board of Directors, and represented the community in the preparations of plans for alternative schools and integration. Hart's files, largely organized chronologically, concern the meetings and policies of the Human Relations Subcommitee, of which she was chair, and the South Division High School cluster. The records also include Hart's copy of the 1977 Monitoring Handbook issued by federally-appointed Special Master John A. Gronouski and a file on the People United for Integration and Quality Education. ACCESS RESTRICTIONS: Wisconsin Statutes ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY NOTE: The Milwaukee Board of School Directors created the Committee of 100 in March 1976 to serve as an advisory group to the board. The Committee's main function was to represent the community in the preparations of plans for alternative schools and integration. The Committee consisted of fifteen delegations, representing all the public schools. Fourteen of the fifteen delegations came from clusters, each of which was made up of one high school plus the elementary and junior high schools in its area. The fifteenth delegation was from Milwaukee Tech, which had students from throughout Milwaukee.

16. Dishing Up Local Food On Wisconsin Campuses For such schools, price can be a critical issue To save money and time, Wisconsinfood service alternatives Parker found that alternative distribution channels http://www.wisc.edu/cias/pubs/briefs/055.html

Research Brief Dishing up local food on Wisconsin campuses If colleges and universities purchased five to ten percent of their food directly from local farms, imagine the extra income that could end up in Wisconsin farmers’ pockets. The University of Wisconsin-Madison alone spends nearly $10 million each year on food for its dining services. The good news is that many colleges and universities in Wisconsin are already buying food directly from local farmers. And food service directors at many more Wisconsin schools want to buy food locally. Janet Parker, researcher for the Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems (CIAS), interviewed food service directors at 34 colleges and universities in Wisconsin to learn more about their potential as local food buyers. Parker also interviewed distributors and  helped the UW-Madison food service organize local food events on campus. Her work follows up on a national study described in CIAS Research Brief #39. Local food buying can not only help keep farmers in business—it can engage students in supporting local farms and thinking about where their food comes from. This project has identified opportunities and challenges for marketing local food on campu

AT THE CAPITOL January 1999 an NEA Affiliate 1998-2000 Policy Paper: Alternative Education Opportunities News At the Capitol Collective bargaining Press room ... ONLINE SERVICES Background: As an organization of educators, the Wisconsin Education Association Council recognizes that more and more of today's students want to complete their high school education but have extraordinary needs. Many of these needs can be addressed through alternative education programs and truancy abatement efforts. Chapter 115.28 (7) (e) of the state statutes defines an alternative education program as an instructional program approved by the school board that utilizes successful alternative or adaptive school structures and teaching techniques, and is incorporated into existing, traditional classrooms or regularly scheduled curricular programs, or is offered in place of regularly scheduled curricular programs. "Alternative educational program" does not include a private school or a home-based private educational program. The state superintendent of public instruction is charged with the development of administrative rules establishing requirements for licensure of alternative education program teachers. Funding of alternative education programs is currently the responsibility of the local school district in which a program is established.
