Program Purpose |
In 1994, the Marshall School District established a unique program for students: Satellite Day School Program.The purpose was to create a more intense instructional learning environment for IEP students experiencing great difficulty in controlling their behavior in the classroom. It has grown and changed over the years. Satellite remaining true to its purpose now also includes regular education students and suspended out-of-school students. When attending the Satellite Program during suspensions, students are able to complete class assignments and receive credit for work completed. They may also use on-line curriculum "Plato" and receive credit in their classroom for these completed assignments. This has cut down tremendously on grade retentions and the high school drop out rate.The Satellite Program is a proactive programming approach for small group and individualized instruction, which has produced many positive outcomes for students served.
