GOAL: The goal
of the School Intervention Center is to create an isolated, positive, controlled
atmosphere conducive to performance reflection, behavior modification and
an increased level of academic success.
Students are placed in the School Intervention Center (S.I.C.)
for a variety of reasons including disruptive behavior, skipping class, abusive
language and insubordination according to the penalties assigned under the
levels of discipline specified in the School Board's Secondary
Code of Student Conduct.
Upon entering S.I.C., each student's math and English skills
are assessed using the computer software from PLATO.
The results of this assessment are used to help the counselors and administration
to make recommendations concerning the student's progress in school.
While students are in the S.I.C. program, they work on classroom assignments
sent to the center by the teachers. When they have completed the assignments,
or while they are waiting for more work to be sent, they work on the computer
in specific math and English skills. They also can work on HSCT remediation,
FCAT test skills, and word processing skills. Microsoft Works is available
for students to use while writing papers, as well as computer encyclopedias.
