ALEC Program
ALEC is an educational alternative to suspension or expulsion for student disciplinary issues. It is located in the Camper Building in Genoa, Ohio. It is also a program for students who have been out of a traditional classroom for a period of time and must be transitioned back into the regular classroom. ALEC will address student behavior and/or specific needs on an individual basis.
Through academic experiences, which stress early and frequent success, ALEC creates a positive atmosphere for learning. Personal growth, self-awareness, interpersonal skills and responsibility for behavior are continually emphasized in every component of the program. The ALEC program has a strong partnership with Ottawa County Juvenile Court.
