work approved by the regional

|
| 1 | | each student meaningful and
worthwhile. The curriculum shall be |
| 2 | | designed in such a manner as to prepare students to enter a job |
| 3 | | training program that provides a high school diploma and a |
| 4 | | trade upon completion of the job training program. After such |
| 5 | | preparation, the student shall then be enrolled in the job |

| 7 | | curriculum, the
regional superintendent or school district
|
| 8 | | shall give due consideration to the rules and regulations |
| 9 | | adopted by the State
Board of Education for alternative schools |
| 10 | | and optional education programs.
The regional superintendent |
| 11 | | or school district (i) may contract with third
parties for any |
| 12 | | services otherwise performed by employees and (ii) may apply
|
| 13 | | for waivers or modifications of mandates of this Code or of |
| 14 | | administrative
rules as provided in Section 2-3.25g of this |
| 15 | | Code and as are necessary for the
alternative school program.
|
| 16 | | (b) An administratively transferred student who |
| 17 | | successfully completes the
job training program under |
| 18 | | subsection (a) of this Section requirements for his or her high |
| 19 | | school graduation shall receive a diploma
identifying the |
| 20 | | student as graduating from the job training program with a high |
| 21 | | school diploma transferring high school. In
the event the |
| 22 | | student is administratively transferred before enrolling in a
|
| 23 | | high school, then that student shall receive a diploma from the |
| 24 | | high school the
student would have attended if the student had |
| 25 | | not attended an alternative
school program.
