Introduction San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools (SBCSS), specific local education agency (LEA) programs, and other alternative programs provide an array of education opportunities for students not eligible to attend schools in their local school districts, those students ordered to attend by their probation officer, or students referred by their LEA and/or physician as pregnant minors. A description of these public-school options is contained within this chapter. Special education students who attend any of these instructional programs receive services in accordance with their Individualized Education Program (IEP). Section A – Alternative Education The Student Services Division of San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools works collaboratively with LEAs, community colleges, families, and agencies to provide student- centered educational programs throughout the SELPA. Program content and delivery are based upon state-of-the-art knowledge and practices tailored to the unique needs of LEAs and regions. Working together in a collegial and professional manner, highly competent staff support students’ academic, vocational, social, and emotional growth. Students’ talents and abilities are strengthened through instruction that focuses on life, employment, and critical thinking skills. Various grants have been received to provide child care, homeless education, counseling, and drug-free curriculum that supplement and support Student Services Alternative Education programs. The following is adapted from the San Bernardino County web page.
