The program does have some eligibility requirements to meet before a student can begin work on the criteria for summer completion of their expulsion.
First, an eighth-grader must have been expelled and recommended for alternative placement during the first six weeks of the last nine-week marking period of the school year.
“If they are expelled any later in the last quarter than that, there is not time for them to be placed in an alternative program and to complete the summer program’s expulsion criteria,” Wyrosdick said.
Then students must complete one online Florida Virtual School course that applies to their graduation plan. They must also complete an online substance abuse or non-smoking program.
“They cannot just go ahead and do that without contacting us since we have to enroll them into those programs,” Wyrosdick said.
They must also write a letter of apology to the school where they attended last year, and then sign a behavioral pledge at the high school they will be attending this fall.
