This guide is to be used by LAUSD personnel in conjunction with counseling and personal 

guidance to assist students and parents in the educational alternative placement process. Please 

do not distribute directly to students or parents.

OVERVIEW 

This guide is a resource for school personnel working with at-risk students and their parents. It will assist 

school personnel with finding the most appropriate alternative educational placement for individual 

students. Placing students in a school or program that best fits their needs can help students successfully 

engage in learning and follow the path to achieving a high school diploma. 

Los Angeles Unified School District’s (LAUSD) goal for every student is to graduate with a high school 

diploma and to be college-prepared and career-ready. 

To support this goal, schools should provide students with comprehensive support that aids in removing 

any barriers to student success. It is the responsibility of every school to ensure that they are providing 

appropriate and thorough intervention implementation before an educational alternative placement is 

considered. Any student being considered for an educational alternative placement should receive a 

referral to COST (Coordination of Services Team), an SST meeting (Student Success Team), 

conferences which include both student and parents, and other interventions such as community agency 

referrals, class/track changes, and behavioral and/or academic support measures. All interventions 

should be clearly documented and appropriate follow-up is required. In short, intensive support should be 

provided to students at-risk of dropping out prior to making a referral to an educational alternative 

placement. Schools must provide in-school intervention and prevention recovery. 

For some students, however, the traditional comprehensive high school may not meet their needs. Some 

students both require and benefit from a smaller learning environment, individualized instruction, targeted 

student support, and independent work plans. 

This guide includes descriptions, matrices, and directories of district and non-district educational 

alternative placements. The matrices offer a quick guide of the resources available for appropriate student 

placement. Also, included in this guide is a recommended Referral Procedure Checklist form 

(Attachment A). Adhering to the steps outlined in this checklist will facilitate student enrollment and 

ensure record keeping. The Enrollment Verification Form (Attachment B) is a tool schools can use to 

verify a student’s enrollment at an educational alternative placement. Local schools may use the School 

Profile form (Attachment C1, C2) to collect specific information about educational alternative 

placements in their area. 

This guide is intended for use by LAUSD personnel as a resource when working with 

students and parents considering educational alternative placements.

ALTERNATIVE 

PLACEMENTS 

Before making a referral to any educational alternative placement, schools should provide students with 

comprehensive support that aids in removing any barriers to student success at their current comprehensive 

school placement. It is the responsibility of every school to ensure that they are providing appropriate and 

thorough intervention and student support before an educational alternative placement is considered. Any 

student being considered for an educational alternative placement should receive a referral to COST 

(Coordination of Services Team), an SST meeting (Student Success Team), conferences which include 

both student and parents, and other interventions such as community agency referrals, track changes, and 

behavioral and/or academic support measures. All interventions should be clearly documented and 

appropriate follow-up is required. In short, intensive support should be provided to students at-risk of 

dropping out prior to making a referral to an educational alternative placement. Schools should exhaust every 

intervention method available to provide in-school intervention and recovery.

LAUSD Alternative Educational Options 

The following is a list of the many educational options for students within and outside of the LAUSD. 

Please become familiar with all of these options so you can make well informed referrals. 

DISTRICT ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION 

Continuation High Schools are alternatives to the large, traditional high schools and are designed to 

meet compulsory attendance mandates for students who are age 16 or older. Our continuation high 

schools provide small campus settings, low student-teacher ratio, individualized instruction, and 

extensive counseling to strengthen positive self-concepts. At a continuation high school, the student can 

expect a success-oriented learning experience, a course of instruction designed to meet district and state 

standards, an active participation in educational decisions, and recognition of individual worth. The goal 

is to graduate or transition students back to a traditional high school. Some schools offer four hour per 

week evening classes for students who are employed for 30 hours or more per week. These classes offer 

students a program of academic and elective courses that fulfill graduation requirements. This is a 

specially designed program of individualized instruction with major emphasis in occupational orientation 

and work experience skills. Reference: Bulletin No. 2430, Enrollment in Continuation High Schools. 

Contact phone numbers: 

Contact the local Continuation School or 

Educational Options Office (213) 241-0600 

Central High School is a multi-site continuation high school that reaches out to the community by 

delivering high school instruction from community-based agencies. Its numerous branches, located 

throughout the District, provide a unique educational program that serves specific targeted groups of 

high-risk students. All branches share the Options philosophy of individualizing instruction and the 

Options mission of providing a quality education for students. Reference: Bulletin No. 2430, Enrollment 

in Continuation High Schools.

Community Day Schools (CDS) are designed for students in Kindergarten through grade 12 as an 

educational placement option for expelled and other high-risk students as established by Assembly Bill 

922 and further defined in Assembly Bill (AB 1845). The CDS schools are for students who have been 

expelled for any reason, or referred by: probation, a School Attendance Review Board (SARB), or other 

district level processes. This last refinement of the law permits the district to place students in CDS who 

have histories of behavior problems and repeated academic failure. The law also allows special education 

students to be placed in Community Day Schools rather than in non-public schools (NPS). Students in 

Community Day Schools are required to attend a mandatory six-hour instructional day. Reference: 

Bulletin No. 847, Referral to Community Day Schools. 


Contact the Educational Options Office to receive more information 

about a CDS in your local area (213) 241-6000

Pregnant Minor Schools meet the educational needs of pregnant middle and senior high school students. 

They provide special programs at sites located throughout the school district. They offer classes required 

for graduation as well as special classes in birth preparation and parenting. They make available 

counseling by school nurses and information on health and nutrition. The primary goal of the School-Age 

Mother Schools is to provide interim educational opportunities to the expectant mother so that she may 

continue her education. The student is encouraged to develop skills and attitudes that will enable her to 

provide positive modeling for her child. Reference: Bulletin No. 2060.0, Pregnant and Parenting Students 

Educational Rights.

program in the community.

The:HeArt Project 


The HeArt Project is a 19-year old nonprofit arts education organization that partners with alternative 

education high schools in LAUSD, the LA County Office of Education, and the Culver City Unified 

School District. The program utilizes the arts to engage students in their complete education and 

keep them on track to graduate high school with a plan for their futures. In partner school sites, listed 

below, students receive 2 hours of arts education each week from September through June, with the 

opportunity to advance to upper level programs at local arts colleges and universities. The HeArt 

Project and LACOE expanded their partnership in summer 2010 to open the Hollywood Media Arts 

Academy. Each week, Academy students receive 10 hours of arts education (taught by The HeArt 

Project staff) in addition to classes in other academic subjects (taught by LACOE staff) for a full high 

school curriculum. Through the arts, students learn to take creative risks, work collaboratively, 

improve critical thinking and problem solving skills, and increase community awareness and 

participation, all skills valued in a 21st century workplace.

The:HeArt Project 

The HeArt Project is a 19-year old nonprofit arts education organization that partners with alternative 

education high schools in LAUSD, the LA County Office of Education, and the Culver City Unified 

School District. The program utilizes the arts to engage students in their complete education and 

keep them on track to graduate high school with a plan for their futures. In partner school sites, listed 

below, students receive 2 hours of arts education each week from September through June, with the 

opportunity to advance to upper level programs at local arts colleges and universities. The HeArt 

Project and LACOE expanded their partnership in summer 2010 to open the Hollywood Media Arts 

Academy. Each week, Academy students receive 10 hours of arts education (taught by The HeArt 

Project staff) in addition to classes in other academic subjects (taught by LACOE staff) for a full high 

school curriculum. Through the arts, students learn to take creative risks, work collaboratively, 

improve critical thinking and problem solving skills, and increase community awareness and 

participation, all skills valued in a 21st century workplace.

Recommended 

REFERRAL PROCEDURE CHECKLIST FOR 

ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAMS 

ATTACHMENT A 

When determining what placement is appropriate for your student, follow these guidelines to ensure 

timely enrollment. 

Verify home address and determine school of residence. 

Call the designated program/school contact. Verify space/availability. Discuss eligibility 

criteria as it relates to the student’s profile. Seek consensus from school/program to move 

ahead in the enrollment process. 

While speaking to the designated program/school contact, determine what steps to take to 

facilitate enrollment. If it’s possible to schedule an intake appointment at that time (while 

the parent and student are in your office), do so. 

Verify what documents the parent and student should bring with them to the intake 

appointment. Determine whether or not an assessment is part of the enrollment procedure. If 

there is an orientation that both parent and student need to attend, verify the time, date, 

location, etc. 

Write down all the above information. Give a copy to parent and student. Provide them 

with directions to the school/program using Mapquest or the MTA web site. 

Assist parent and student with obtaining all the necessary documents needed for 

enrollment. You can walk parent and student to the Counseling Office/Track Center, 

introduce them to the clerk assigned to help them, and advise the clerk what it is they need. If 

a Pass Through PAR is needed, assist parent with obtaining that by making the appropriate 

phone contact with the home school and/or utilizing a fax to expedite the process. 

As appropriate, direct student to continue attending class until they are ready to enroll in 

their new program. At that point, parent and student must return to school to check-out. 

Remind student to bring all text books at that time. Parent must bring a photo ID. 

Call school/program to verify student completed the enrollment process. Document 

enrollment using the Enrollment Verification form (see attached) and file with student’s 

Parent Assurance Letter obtained at check-out. If the student has not enrolled, contact 

parent and offer guidance/assistance until enrollment is complete. 

Document each step in SIS/ID19 so that other school staff may be advised of the pending 

transfer and provide support as needed.
