Alternative high schools with career components

[Cyndi Stern]

Our staff and administrators are developing an alternative high school for 
a small group of students who are failing their freshman year. We expect 
to place them in a job each morning for at least two hours as part of 
their program.  I would appreciate any information you could share with us 
about best practices or model alternative school programs  that include a 
career placement.  Our questions include: Are students paid?  How often 
are students and mentors monitored by school staff? What kind of companies 
have been most receptive to taking these students?=20
