Supplemental Program for at Risk Children (SPARC) - Coser 410A
Elementary Alternative Education
BOCES provides a program designed for non-classified students between
5 and 11 years old who are
experiencing difficulties academically, socially and behaviorally in their
present placement.
The length of the placement will be mutually determined by BOCES and
the school district involved. Programming will emphasize individualized
educational services, as well as classroom behavior plans, curriculum
adaptations and modifications, crisis and counseling support and referral
to community agencies. A key component of the program is a strong line
of communication with the home. The purpose of the program is to provide
short-term educational and clinical intervention that might prevent the
student from having to be referred for special
education services.
Staffing: Teacher, Paraprofessional,
plus services of part-time Social Worker and Psychiatrist.
Cost Formula: A per diem
rate will be established based on projected enrollment.
