The Alternative Education Center (AEC) provides RE-3(J) students an opportunity to earn credit in core subjects in a non-traditional setting. All Alternative Education Center students understand that the expectation is for them to attain standards and pass proficiency tests in all assigned subjects and then transition back to regular education.
