The Juneau County Charter <strong>School</strong> is a collaboration of Juneau County<br />
<strong>School</strong>s, consisting of the Mauston, Wonewoc, Necedah, and New<br />
Lisbon school districts. This project was initiated as a local attempt to<br />
provide educational opportunities to disengaged students of Juneau<br />
County in grades 7-12. The school focuses on service learning, career<br />
exploration, basic academic competencies, confronting individual<br />
barriers, and family involvement.<br />
Desired outcomes of the Juneau County Charter <strong>School</strong> include<br />
decreases in students’ community problems through courts, law<br />
enforcement, and social services involvement; completion of an<br />
educational program or successful transition to post-secondary<br />
programming or employment; and reintegration of this population into a<br />
traditional, vocational, or educational program.<br />
