Dropout Recovery Related |
We have a district policy of no expulsions. In an effort to prevent students from dropping out, and to attract those who have already dropped out, we operate an array of alternative schools and programs to accommodate varying needs. Information about these schools and programs can be found at the following web sites. http://www.jefferson.k12.ky.us/schools/high/jchs.html http://www.jefferson.k12.ky.us/schools/special/liberty.html http://www.jefferson.k12.ky.us/schools/special/breckmetro.html http://www.jefferson.k12.ky.us/schools/special/buechel.html http://www.jefferson.k12.ky.us/schools/special/westport.html |
