Alternative High School Proposal Faces Fiscal Hurdles
Judy Gerling outlines Bristol educators’ push for an Alternative Secondary Program to replace traditional graduation credits with personalized study. The plan envisions a walls-less school modeled after Providence’s 1971 project, focusing on proficiency tests and tutor support to prevent dropouts while serving gifted and slow learners. The district aims to study the proposal further with hopes of a September 1978 launch, despite a projected $400,000 deficit.
