Our innovative program addresses the needs of 250 expelled students, focusing on minority, disadvantaged, and special education demographics. With a high number of middle school students and many facing repeated suspensions, we aim to create a supportive environment where inappropriate behaviors are targeted for positive change. Students will work in individualized cubicles, allowing for less interaction while still promoting a "cooling off" strategy for management. Transportation and uniforms are provided, with a shortened instructional day designed to help students reintegrate successfully. ###
