If one in eight Ford Tauruses failed to operate, Taurus would quickly lose its reputation for quality and its popularity with the public. According to tenets of Total Quality Management, if Ford tried to focus blame on individual workers rather than improve systemwide quality, the problem would most likely persist, public and stockholder confidence would deteriorate, and the company might soon be bankrupt. One in eight students does not complete high school. Minorities, the poor, and the disabled often fare worse. Over 50 percent of students in a quarter of the nation's poor, urban high schools fail to graduate. Suspension, expulsion, retention, chronic failure, and alienation all contribute to unacceptable dropout and incompletion rates. Yet rather than take a systems approach to improvement, many states have created alternative schools for the "problem" individuals thought to degrade general education quality. Alternative schools evolved decades ago to provide an academic option for students not successful in regular education programs

Washington Alternative School is designed to address behaviors that interfere with the learning style of classified students in our secondary school programs (grades 6-12). The educational program follows the curriculum of the grade in which the student is assigned. The students assigned to our program will progress through a school wide behavior management system and be provided an opportunity to achieve their own individual goals. Each classified student's individualized education program (I.E.P.) outlines the educational needs of the student. The child study team, related and supportive services (Re: guidance, student assistance, and speech) are readily available. When the student achieves in the behavioral management program they are provided an opportunity to return to their respective school. The alternative education program consists of four (4) classrooms. Each classroom provides an academic program reflective of the grade level of the students assigned to that classroom.

Desktop OUR AFFILIATES Tuesday, February 11, 2003 Money not Seattle schools' only problem By S. WAYNE DUNCAN CHILD CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST In December the Seattle School Board approved the selection of an outside auditor to examine the district's financial practices and policies that led to the $34 million shortfall uncovered in October. Moss Adams Advisory Services was chosen and will be paid around $200,000 to do this review and report back in 10 weeks. Around the same time, the board and Superintendent Joseph Olchefske announced the appointment of an outside "Fiscal Integrity Committee." These were expected developments, given the size of the deficit and the impact the resulting cuts are having on various programs. However, the new year brought many other issues, and the School Board and the superintendent must attend to these as well. Here are some of the biggest ones. No Child Left Behind Act. Over the long run, perhaps the most significant influence on Seattle schools from this past year will not be the financial problems but the signing by President Bush of the No Child Left Behind Act in January 2002. By the end of the spring the law was beginning to have effects in Seattle and around the country. Six Seattle schools were identified as having failed to meet federal standards with respect to student progress, and parents were notified of their right to have their children transferred to more academically successful schools. Last year the School Board did not spend any time at public meetings discussing the act's impact on the district and what steps are being taken to address the needs of the students in the low-performing schools. School Board members finally turned to this topic at their Feb. 5 meeting. Much more attention needs to be given to this topic.

References Background Concern among the public, educators, and policymakers 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 (U.S. Department of Education 1996). Many students who, for one reason or another, are not succeeding in regular public schools are being sent to alternative placements. In general, students are referred to alternative schools and programs if they 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 (Paglin and Fager 1997).

Innovations in Traditional Public Schools Innovations in Traditional Public Schools Parents who choose public schools often do so on the strength of special programs available to their child. Many public school districts have taken an innovative approach that moves away from one-size-fits-all programs to expand choices available to parents. The most prominent approaches include: Magnet Schools Alternative Schools Transfer Programs and Open Enrollment Post Secondary Enrollment Options Magnet Schools Many school systems have established magnet school programs for a small percentage of their students. Magnet schools, sometimes called specialty schools, gained popularity during the 1970's as alternatives to mandatory desegregation plans. They provided specialized programs such as science and technology or the performing arts, for instance to attract a racially diverse student body from across a school district. By the early 1980s, there were approximately 1,100 magnet schools in 140 urban school districts nationwide. Some magnet schools require students to compete for admission, setting grade point average or test score requirements for eligibility. Magnet schools do not generally have attendance areas, although in places like Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Cambridge, Massachusetts, so-called "walk zones" were established to give some children living near magnet schools more access to these special programs. Such a policy was necessary because many of the early magnet schools established to foster desegregation were located in poorer urban neighborhoods. Children living in those neighborhoods often were denied access because they did not qualify for the special programs or because, as children of color, they would not "enhance racial balance" by attending the school.

Permission to Republish Saturday, February 8, 2003; Page A20 GIVEN THE WHOLEHEARTED support that so many people profess for the idea of charter schools taxpayer-funded, independently run public schools it is fascinating to observe how contentious the debate over Maryland Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.'s charter school bill has become. In truth, the dispute revolves not around the general principle but around two specific points. The first concerns unions: Although charter school teachers would be able to remain members of their current trade unions (and would be allowed to form new unions), the law would require them to resign from union bargaining units. This would exempt them from existing contracts or rules, making them, in effect, union members in name only. The second point concerns local school boards, which would lose their exclusive control over local schools. Under the governor's bill, the Maryland State Board of Education and Maryland's public universities would have the right to authorize and oversee charter schools' progress. Still, no charter school bill should become a license for any group to take public money to run any kind of school it desires, without accountability to the taxpayers who fund it. The governor's bill rightly demands that charter schools be secular, that they meet the same assessment criteria as other public schools, and that they periodically renew their charters to operate. Somewhat murkier is the role that Maryland voters would have in this process. Neither the Maryland State Board of Education nor Maryland's universities are run by elected officials. The governor must do a better job of explaining how those two entities would be held accountable to Maryland's voters, who are, after all, Maryland's taxpayers as well.

Medical schools to include alternative medicine classes By Melissa Huang The Johns Hopkins News-Letter (Johns Hopkins U.) The new addition to the Johns Hopkins curriculum is a wide array of practices known as Complementary and Alternative Medicine, or CAM. Students appreciate the school's effort to bring awareness and understanding of the emerging practices. "I think it is important, if for no other reason than some people will be using those therapies, whether we like it or not," said Anthony Graves, a Johns Hopkins medical school student. "It is necessary to understand exactly what a patient is doing" in order to treat that patient effectively. Area medical schools also uphold the belief that doctors need to fully understand what the patient is going through in order to treat the illness effectively. Since the probability of the patient's use of the new practices is rising, medical schools have in recent years moved to add information on CAM to their required and elective coursework. Both the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the University of Maryland School of Medicine now include at least some basic CAM lectures in their curricula. The action is in response to a growing embrace of CAM both by health care consumers and by the medical establishment.

But not until he became governor, O’Bannon added, did he really learn what alternative education is all about. O’Bannon gave the welcoming remarks this morning to the Indiana Department of Education’s first Statewide Alternative Education Conference, hosted by the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation in Columbus. His goal, O’Bannon explained, had been “simply to get disruptive, even violent students out of regular classrooms—so they can’t interfere with the students who are there to learn.”
