This is an alternative to long-term suspension, the disciplinary measure used in the past for severe discipline c?ses. Clemmons objected to the change "You send them to Alternative Ed and there's no one there to teach them," he said. "It's basically academically weak out there. And how many are you going to send?" Board Chairman James Forstner replied. "The alternative is sending them home, where there's nothing. Tills cannot be a dumping ground, I agree, and we do need to look at academics and strengthen them." West Brunswick High School Principal David Corley interjected, "We have an obligation to those kids who are behaving to give them an orderly atmosphere so they can learn." Responded Clemmons, "How do you know the child will be better when he comes out of that alternative school?" To Corley's "We don't," Clemmons responded, "Well, you should know that!" The statement added to the code provides that a principal's decision to assign students to the Alternative Education (.'enter must have prior approval of the superintendent. It says rehabilitative educational and social services will be offered students at the center.

Responding to questions from Yarbrough, Coston conceded the counselor had talked with her daughter about grades and classes, but not about underlying problems. Yarbrough said, "I think our high schools are doing a good job in difficult times. Every school has at least one counselor, and every high school has at least two of them."
