Alternative Learning Opportunities Program (ALOP)
HOW WE HELP
The Lake County ALOP (Alternative Learning Opportunities Program) is designed to increase school completion rates/graduation rates for students who are struggling by removing barriers and giving them the support they need.
Along with academic and attendance support, our advocates build relationships with our students by infusing social-emotional learning and behavioral support into their days and fostering positive engagement.

WHO WE SERVE
ALOP programs are designed to serve students in grades K-12+ who may be struggling in academics, attendance, behavior, or who are otherwise considered “at-risk”.
This includes students who may have just returned from hospitalization, are credit deficient, homeless, chronically absent, needing social-emotional mentorship or excessive behavioral referrals. Link to Map
Student Referrals to ALOP
Teachers or other support personnel can refer a student to the ALOP. Contact your school-based ALOP Coordinator (usually an administrator). Present information or a request about a student at a team meeting or tiered intervention meeting. Make sure student has already received interventions (Tier 1 & 2, if possible).
Continuum of Student Services
Our continuum begins with supplemental ALOP (Alternative Learning Opportunities Program) services supporting students in their school settings, then offers opportunities for separate placements by choice and offers support in response to specific severe behavior incidents as an alternative option for expulsion level incidents.
