Syracuse dropout program stays open under study
The state Labor Education Department denies shutting the Syracuse alternative school for dropouts as it studies legality. Alternatives Unlimited, a Maryland firm, will run the program for now under a district contract while plans to solicit proposals for future operators are developed. The Syracuse Teachers Association argues the district lacks authority to contract with a private firm, while district officials say the private program provides cost-effective support and the district must fund its own alternatives if needed.
