Students kindergarten through 12th grade as an educational placement option for expelled and other highly at-risk students.

Students with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) with behavioral problems as an alternative placement to non-public school.

Students who have been identified as habitually truant.

Students who need intensive academic intervention and/or social-emotional adjustment (CDS placement is not appropriate for students whose primary need is credit recovery.)

Students are typically involuntarily transferred to a CDS due to expulsion, a probation referral, referral by a school attendance review board (SARB), or as an opportunity transfer for behavior intervention.

A parent may request a voluntary transfer to a CDS for intensive academic intervention and/or social emotional adjustment. Parents should contact their child’s current administrator to request a voluntary transfer and coordinate an intake conference with the CDS of choice.
