Southeast Alternatives. Experimental Schools Program.
Minneapolis Public Schools, Minn.
The Minneapolis public school system is philosophically committed to providing for and encouraging the development of individual differences found in the highly diverse population the schools serve. A demonstration program offering a number of educational options to the heterogeneous population of the small geographically unified area of Southeast Minneapolis is described. Program options at the elementary level are a contemporary school, continuous progress primary and intermediate schools, an open school, and a free school. At the secondary level, the free school program option is available as well as the Marshall-University array of courses and activities. Each student, with his parents' consent, can design his educational program under the quarter system with many of the courses and activities being located at community learning sites. A procedure to transfer their children to other Minneapolis public schools is available to those parents who feel that none of these alternatives is satisfactory. A detailed program budget is included. (Author/MLF)
