Current Status of Community Day School Alternative Education
A second alternative education school operates as a community day school and independent study school under what is referred to as educational options. This is also where students are alternatively placed in lieu of expulsion. The current teaching and learning environment for all of these programs has not changed much in the last decade, if not longer, and has not implemented any portion of our Scholar+ program other than in some cases for substitution. -
Current Status of Continuation School Alternative Education
PUHSD currently has one continuation high school which doesn't meet student needs both from the bell schedule or the teaching and learning perspective. Students attend 7 hours a day, 6 periods a day which is not a continuation model. They are only able to make up credits because of the trimester schedule and/or in a single period credit recovery class where they can move through courses in the A+ program. In short, this school has not advanced much since being a packet work school 7 years ago. -
