Similar Stories to Oklahoma City School Board Approves Alternative To Suspension Program on Bing News

By Tim Willert Staff Writer twillert@oklahoman.comA short-lived support program for students facing suspension is being resurrected by Oklahoma City Public Schools at a reduced cost. School board members voted unanimously Monday night to pay Seeworth Academy $250,000 to provide academic instruction and counseling services to district students facing suspensions of 10 days or less. That's about half the cost of a similar program the district paid the Latino Community Development Agency and Boys and Girls Club of Oklahoma County to operate during the 2015-16 school year. The district, though eliminated the alternative-to-suspension program because of budget cuts and operational issues. Seeworth is a charter school in Oklahoma City for at-risk students, many of whom have been kicked out of their home schools.Read more on NewsOK.com
