Santiago City Clerk Joanna Flores City Attorney Joe Geller City Manager Kelvin L.Baker t Alternative to Suspension Program The City of Opa Locka Alternative to Suspension Program was derived from the overwhelming number of students who are suspended from school within the Opa Locka/Miami Gardens communities. The program is located at: Sherbondy Village 215 Perviz Ave 2nd FL Opa Locka, Fl. 33054 (305)953-2871 Program hours are from 8:00-4:00 following Dade County School's calendar and dress code. Because the program places emphasis on academics, students must be willing to cooperate and focus on academics as assigned. Help Goals: • Provide a supervised alternative to juveniles suspended from Dade County Schools. • Help juveniles understand the consequences of their behavior by providing behavioral counseling and curriculum based on their reason(s) for suspension. • Handle infractions in a non-judicial manner. Eligibility: • Dade County juveniles that are between the ages 13 -18. $ Juveniles whose parent(s) is willing to be supportive. e Juveniles whose school infraction(s) have progressed to school suspension Program Services: Certain infractions or incidents of school rules can result in a student being suspended.The Alternative to Suspension Program has been designed to offer a supervised environment, which helps the juveniles learn the consequences of their behavior while offering a non-judicial resolution. Each juvenile is eligible to participate in the program 2 times during each school year,depending on space availability and the discretion of the program director. Minor infractions such as tardiness and truancy are not considered to be appropriate referrals. Appropriate referrals would be minor drug and alcohol offenses on school grounds, minor weapon offenses, attempted theft, repeated personal conduct violations, battery between sll,dents,gang affiliated behavior (signs, colors,graffiti ),gross disobedient, inappropriate use of school property (school phones, school computers) and other incidents as deemed appropriate by the home school and the reporting program officials.Acceptance into the program will reduce initial suspension by half. (A 10 day suspension would be reduced to 5 days at the Alternative to Suspension Program.) While the juvenile is participating in the Alternative to Suspension program he/she may riot attend or participate in any school activity or event and is prohibited from being on school district property. In attendance days at the Alternative Program will be counted. The student will receive full credit for all work completed that is handed in on the first day the juvenile returns to home school. All participants must meet with the vice principal or designated school official upon returning from the Alternative to Suspension Program and turn in the notice of successful completion. If the program is not completed successfully, school officials will be immediately notified and the original suspension will be enforced by the school, and the school is allowed to pursue any additional options. Special Education students will follow home school guidelines. Upon successful completion of the suspension program,juveniles, at the discretion of the program director may be invited to be involved in ongoing activities within the Youth Crime Prevention Program which is also located at Sherbondy Village.
