"Alternative education campus" - these secondary schools, commonly

referred to as alternative schools, are designed for and typically serve

been expelled from traditional schools, have become involved in the

juvenile justice system, were victims of child abuse or neglect, use drugs

or alcohol, belong to street gangs, or are otherwise at risk of academic

failure, continuing high-risk behaviors, and post-graduation joblessness.
