[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS struggles to provide a safe learning environment. Not sure what the issue is. Don’t they have an alternative school for kids who have bad behavioral issues? Or was this unique to my school district growing up?[/quote]

They do have alternative school for kids with behavioral issues or who are caught doing things like drug dealing on campus. Placement can be a lengthy process, however. [/quote]

Well, EH is a slated school for kids with behavior problems. DCPS decided to dump a bunch of kids on them because they weren’t enrolled at capacity. So there’s that. [/quote]

How do you know that? Links?[/quote]

NP. The term 'dumping' is offensive.

EH - and several other schools - are home to designated self-contained "Behavioral and Educational Support Programs" classrooms.

[b]Description of BES [/b]- Full-time special education classrooms are highly structured and supportive with low student to staff ratios. All classrooms are staffed with certified special education teachers and instructional paraprofessionals. Academic
instruction is aligned to the Common Core State Standards and the DCPS Scope and Sequence. Some students access the general education curriculum, while others are provided with a modified curriculum. In all classes, interventions
supplement the general education curriculum and the modified curriculum. Specially trained and certified related service providers support the needs of the students in accordance with their IEP. Some students participate in the
standard state assessment with accommodations, while others participate in alternate state assessments.

Full-Time Programs:

• Behavior & Education Support (BES): Supports students who have been identified with an emotional disability or who have challenging behaviors and require a more therapeutic environment.
