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 />
