Look, whatever KCA is doing for these girls, it's working. Whatever suggestions they have. listen to them and follow through with them. This ACE shouldn't be a place to "store" troubled boys, it should be seen and understood that it is a second chance and a place of learning and if that is not what they are intending it to be, they should work on their own at home from the internet school. Possibly their failure to do just that will encourage better behavior and a desire to succeed. There is a proven affective method, look at the success of KCA. Oh and George, do not "judge" these girls! Mainstream learning is not for all, teens get pregnant, they did when you were a teen and when your mother was a teen and before that. Men in these girls lives have failed them, or hurt them, some mothers have as well. They are "at risk" of not getting a great education, not of being brutal to children. I do agree that the space at the college was a better choice and a better fit, but they obviously are rolling well the the punches. Give the teachers and the director and especially Heather credit, it is well deserved.

Well that certainly defeats the purpose of having an alternative school. Come on Porter, you know better, do not be pushed by the district idiots to keep putting every displaced department into HOB. You need to immediately find a home for the girls, elsewhere and reinstate the boys program as well. This is typically idiocy started by Jara, and now handed on to Porter, who is already starting off with the wrong decisions. You wait until the first at risk girl, attacks some innocent six grader who thinks she is tough. This will not end well.
