FAQ: Alternate Education

My district is listed on the Alt Ed Program spreadsheet. When I received the list of students from the program provider, it had several students on the list not from my district. The other district was not listed on the Alt Ed Program spreadsheet. There is an agreement that we are the primary for Alt Ed. Can we send our students up through our SIS and upload a spreadsheet with the ones that do not attend our district? In the past, we just submitted them all on the spreadsheet.

Yes, you can send those not in your district via a template. However, you will also need the school association (enrollment) record provided to associate the student to your school to allow the reporting of the Alt-Ed program information. In addition you are responsible for providing the student section (schedule), course outcomes, and attendance for those students attending the alt-ed program under your jurisdiction. This will require all data to be provided via templates if you elect to not have the students in your SIS.

When is the Alternative Education list finalized and published?

The Alternative Education list is finalized and published each year in mid-November. Note: schools must apply each year to have their Alternative Education program renewed. If you do not find that your program is listed, reach out to studentpathways_alted@doe.in.gov.
