Alternative placements are intended to
be short term educational placements for
students who violate the
Christina Code of Conduct and for those
students who are returning from
placement in an Outside Agency. 
Students must attend an alternative
placement program for one complete
marking period to be considered for
return to the comprehensive school.
Students who are expelled with services
from the
Christina School District are assigned to an alternative educational program
for the term of their expulsion,
and must
apply to the CSD Board of Education for
re-admission before returning to the
comprehensive school.All students who
are alternatively placed must
successfully meet the goals and
expectations discussed at the onset of
the placement, including specific goals
related to attendance, behavior,
attitude, participation in counseling,
and academic performance. If a
student meets the criteria for return to
the comprehensive school,
representatives from both schools, the
student, and his or her parent/guardian
are required to meet to plan a smooth
transition.
