About Us

Educational programs within El Dorado County provide excellent opportunities for students who are in need of traditional and/or alternative      education programs. Local school districts offer a broad spectrum of service augmented by El Dorado County Office of Education programs, providing a continuum of services to expelled youth.

Early intervention strategies on comprehensive school sites, alternativeprograms on and off comprehensive school sites, and/or referral to the El Dorado County Office of Education programs respond to student diversity and community needs providing opportunity for academic success for all kindergarten-twelfth grade public school students living in El Dorado County.

Each district provides intervention strategies which include, but are not limited to, counseling, student study teams, academic and emotional assessments, parent trainings, in-school suspensions, off-campus suspensions, Special Education services, after school activities, and student/parent/school contracts.

There are students whose behavior constitutes grounds for discipline and possible referral for expulsion from school. The District may, and in some cases is required to, recommend expulsion to the Governing Board for those students whose behavior endangers other students and/or staff.

In addition, each district and the County Office of Education participates with law enforcement agencies in a Memorandum of Understanding dealing with student behaviors.

Each student whose behavior has resulted in expulsion is given a Rehabilitation Plan that is designed by the District explaining the conditions the expelled student must meet in order to return to the District.
