Mr. Plevack spoke about the new alternative learning
center(ALC). Details below. Mr. Terry is the temporary
teacher of the ALC and is housed in the VHTV building.
Unfortunately, VHTV has not yet moved out so there is
limited space available at this time. Once there is space,
tools will be available for the affected students to use
for clean up and beautification.
Apparently, there has been a black jeep speeding around
the campus. The driver has been identified and action
is being taken.
Skate boarding is officially illegal on campus. The skate
boarders do hold meetings here to create a skateboard
park in the area. The city has put up S 600,000 for the
park. Even though the meetings are here, skate boarding
on campus is still illegal.
Lower bungalows: There is smoking/pot smoking at the
handball courts before school. There are loiterers after
school during period 4. Very rude people. The trash around
the lower bungalows is not picked up.
Administration is working on the problems.
Faculty members should not ever give school keys to a
student.
Next meeting, November 19.
Attending this meeting: Kay Burr, Dr. Wells, John Plevack,
Mike Fahy, Jean Hoelscher, Danny Lopez, Easy Delaney,
and yours truly, Charlie Noyes.
Alternative Learning
Center:
Short Term:
Per Site Council proposal approved September 1999. We
will be implementing a program that will support our School-wide
attendance plan. The program is developed to provide a
process in which students are truant on campus can receive
immediate consequence. Also, students brought in by LAPD
for Truancy can also be processed with an immediate consequence.
The ALC will also allow us to revamp ou@ School-wide
Detention Program. Where in the past, students were able
to defer serving their detention assigned until their
senior year. The new program will result in an immediate
serving of detention once it is assigned.

The Alternative Learning Center will be located in Room
10-Former VHTV
The center will process "In-house Truancy" period
